The seventeenth edition of Les Arcs Film Festival will take place from the 13th to the 20th of December, 2025.

Welcome to our 2025 call for entries, open until August 14th the best of European independent cinema.

You can submit feature-length fiction, animation or documentary films produced entirely or mainly by a European production company for our Official Competition of 8 films competing for the Crystal Arrow, the main prize of the festival endowed with €20,000 in promotion by our partner France Télévision (to be confirmed)..

The submission fee is 65 euros.

ATTENTION:

• Only European films are eligible for the call for entries. A European film is defined as one whose production is predominantly European and/or whose filmmaker is European (see list of eligible countries in our regulations)
• our selection of short films is from now on be made from shorts that have been screened in the festivals we target, so we will no longer take short films in the call for films.
• Each year, we select only a very small number of documentary films. You are of course welcome to submit one, but unless it stands out for its particularly creative and cinematic approach, it will have less chance of being selected compared to fiction or animated films.
