Awarded by the Institut Lumière, the Lumière Award will be presented to Martin Scorsese for entire filmography, for his generous love of film, for his tireless fight for the preservation of the cinema of yesteryear, for his feature films, for his documentaries, for his love of music, for his kindness to young filmmakers from around the world, and also for his thunderous laugh.

The 7^th edition of the Lumière festival will be held from Monday 12 to Sunday October 18 in Lyon. Last year, 135,000 festivalgoers attended 320 screenings in 65 venues in the Lyon Metropolis. This year, there will be new features to discover and experience, to take full advantage of the films, the city of Lyon and the festival week.


The spirit of the festival:

Created in 2009 by the Institut Lumière, the festival has become one of the largest international festivals of classic cinema. Once a year in Lyon, the birthplace of the Cinematograph, the cinema world celebrates the vitality and memory of film, taking a contemporary journey through works of the past (restored films, retrospectives, tributes...). Thanks to all the participating theaters, the festival shines across Lyon and its surrounding area, reaching a wide audience.
At the heart of the festival, the Lumière Award is given to a film personality for his or her entire filmography. After Clint Eastwood, Milos Forman, Gérard Depardieu, Ken Loach, Quentin Tarantino and Pedro Almodóvar, Martin Scorsese will receive the 7^th Lumière Award!
