Next edition: Reflets du cinéma hispanique, from 13 to 21 March 2026 in Mayenne
Every year since 1997, Atmosphères 53 has organised Les Reflets du Cinéma, which attracts over 25,000 spectators over 10 days. This department-wide festival presents a varied programme of short and feature-length films, reflecting the current cinematography of a particular country or region, in the region's 10 cinemas and aimed at all audiences.
The festival offers over 50 films of all genres, accessible to all without compromising on quality. It also offers conferences, exhibitions, shows, practical workshops and professional round tables on cinema. Every year, around twenty guests, including directors, actors, technicians, journalists, academics and distributors, come to meet and debate with the public in Mayenne.
Atmosphères 53 is keen to offer audiences the chance to discover not only the cinematography but also the culture of the countries chosen, and is also developing partnerships with a number of cultural and social structures in the department and elsewhere, to highlight other art forms and build bridges between the arts.
This event is organised in partnership with the department's cinema exhibitors, the CNC, the DRAC, the Département, Mayenne Communauté, the Ville de Laval, Mayenne Communauté and the Communauté de communes du Pays de Château-Gontier and other local authorities, as well as numerous partners from the voluntary and educational sectors, businesses and the media.

Audience Award - Festival Premiers Plans Angers 2026
Deaf from birth, Angela is expecting her first child. Despite the support of her partner, she is worried: will she be able to form a bond with her daughter? How do you learn to become a mother in a world that often forgets to include those who can't hear?
A fascinating film, rarely dealing with such a subject. Thanks to a production stripped of all artifice and superb acting, Sorda immediately creates empathy. - Atmosphères 53
