The #ACID programme was created in 1993.
Films are programmed by fifteen filmmakers (also members of #ACID, formerly programmed in Cannes or whose films were supported during the year) and chosen among hundreds of works from all around the world. #ACID filmmakers follow their love for a film and wish to give visibility to directors whose work is scarcely distributed, in order to facilitate a theatrical release. Among authors discovered in #ACID Cannes are Lucas Belvaux, Sébastien Betbeder, Serge Bozon, Djinn Carrénard, Vincent Dieutre, Rachid Djaïdani, Alain Gomis, Arnaud et Jean-Marie Larrieu, Hicham Lasri, and so on.

The selection premiering at the Cairene venues this fall will focus on 12 recent feature #films, #fiction and #documentary presented by two filmmakers members of #ACID: Anna Roussillon (director of the French Egyptian documentary Je suis le peuple - I am the people) and Emmanuel Gras (director of the documentary Cattle).
