Jour de fête
The Institut Audiovisuel de Monaco presents Jacques Tati’s Jour de fête at the Théâtre des Variétés on 17 November 2026. This classic of French cinema returns to the big screen as part of Monaco’s curated audiovisual programme, giving audiences the chance to rediscover Tati’s distinctive visual comedy in a dedicated cinema setting.
A landmark of French screen comedy
Set in a small French village during a local fête, the film follows a postman whose enthusiasm for modern efficiency leads to a succession of comic mishaps. Tati’s observational style, physical humour and attention to everyday detail established many of the ideas he would later develop in his best-known films.
The screening is part of the Institut Audiovisuel de Monaco’s cultural programme, which regularly brings restored classics, repertory cinema and historically significant films to audiences in the Principality.
Good to know
The screening is scheduled for Tuesday 17 November 2026 at 7:00 PM. No verified end time is published, so only the confirmed start time is shown. Visitors should consult the official event page for current admission information.
