The Ethnografilm Festival is an annual non-fiction film festival held in Paris, typically in April, at venues such as Club De L'Etoile near the Arc de Triomphe. Established in 2014, the festival promotes a deeper understanding of the social world through documentary filmmaking, encouraging dialogue between filmmakers, scientists, and thinkers from various backgrounds. While it gives equal attention to academic and documentary filmmaking, it is not strictly an ethnographic film festival but rather a non-fiction film festival that accepts all varieties of documentary film. The festival fosters an environment for discussion and collaboration, often featuring Q&A sessions with directors and opportunities for networking.
