The Lumière Festival, a global event dedicated to classic cinema, is making a stop in Vaulx-en-Velin for two special screenings. Every October, the festival celebrates the vitality and memory of cinema in Lyon, the birthplace of the Lumière Cinématographe, through restored works, retrospectives, and tributes.
For its 18th edition, running from Saturday, October 10th to Sunday, October 18th, 2026, the festival honors brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, recipients of the 2026 Lumière Award. The full program is available for download.
On Monday, October 12th at 8 PM, the Pathé Carré de Soie cinema will present "Train to Busan", a South Korean film by Yeon Sang-ho (2016, 1h58, rated -12). This thrilling enclosed-space film, considered a revival of the zombie genre, is set on a train to Busan where passengers fight for survival against a viral outbreak.
On Wednesday, October 14th at 8 PM, the Cinéma Les Amphis will screen "O’Brother", directed by Joel and Ethan Coen (2000, 1h47).
