For 15 years, the Atmosphères Festival has been driven by a collective commitment to serving the common good. Free and open to all thanks to the loyal support of the town of Courbevoie, its partners and donors, it has become a unique place for sharing, reflection and mobilisation around the major issues of our time. Born out of a double shock, the Erika and Prestige maritime disasters, followed by the 2003 heatwave that claimed the lives of 15,000 people, the festival invented a new format, bringing together cinema, arts and sciences to decipher the world and share innovative experiences. Our guiding principle is to change our perspective in order to change course, while retaining the element of dreams, which are the driving force behind reality. Thank you to the passionate teams, partners, guests, patrons, associations, loyal audience and Scientific Committee, whom you can meet in the new Café des Sciences. This year, at the invitation of the Fête de la Science, we will explore the many forms of intelligence. Numerous highlights will address the major challenges of ecological and social transition. A unique evening will be dedicated to glaciers in the presence of many artists and scientists. Together, let’s celebrate this anniversary edition, because yes, we are convinced that the future can be better.

Happy celebrations and enjoy Atmosphères!
