With the support of Unifrance, the organization responsible for the international promotion of French cinema and audiovisual production, MyMetaStories is an online festival dedicated to European cinema, where both short and feature films can be discovered.
From October 6 to 29, 2023, internet users around the world can watch the selected films with subtitles in six languages (French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Italian). This is possible via the website MyMetaStories.eu or on partner VOD platforms such as Sooner and Amazon Prime Video.
The special thing about MyMetaStories? In addition to the exclusively digital accessibility, the festival also takes place in a special location: in the video game “Minecraft®”! From October 13 to 16, a virtual cinema with 13 screens will be available where you can experience the short films from the program.
