Although its location inside the Forum des Halles is not the most desirable, Forum des Images is the gem of this underground maze. Nowhere else will you find such an enormously varied film agenda including 1920s silent film, contemporary art house cinema and everything in between. There is a strong emphasis on the French cinema tradition with regular screenings of films by the French masters of cinema such as Marcel Carné, Louis Malle, Jean Luc Godard and Jean Renoir.  They even offer the delightful Menu Court – showings of short films at 1.15pm every day for €1 designed to fit into your lunch break. Upcoming film festivals include The Paris Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the Retour du Flamme silent film festival and a retrospective of Quebecois film.
