Poster Festival du Film Merveilleux 2025

The 15th edition of the Festival du Film Merveilleux has revealed its stunning new poster, a collaborative masterpiece that perfectly captures the essence of this celebrated genre cinema event. The visual identity emerges from the creative partnership between graphic designer Jessica Bianconi and artist-photographer Mo Eid, who have crafted an image that speaks to the very soul of the marvelous and imaginative.

Set against a deep, starlit night sky, the poster’s composition centers on a solitary tree silhouetted against rolling hills, bathed in an ethereal purple glow that seems to pulse with otherworldly energy. This choice of purple—a color long associated with mystery, transformation, and the liminal spaces between reality and dreams—immediately signals the festival’s commitment to cinema that transcends conventional boundaries.

The tree itself stands as a powerful symbol, its branches reaching toward the cosmos while its roots remain firmly planted in the earth below. This visual metaphor speaks to the festival’s exploration of stories that bridge the terrestrial and the celestial, the known and the unknown. The gentle hills create a sense of intimate landscape, suggesting that the most profound mysteries often lie hidden in the most familiar places.

Above, the star-scattered sky opens infinite possibilities, each point of light potentially harboring new worlds and untold stories. The overall composition evokes a sense of peaceful contemplation while maintaining an undercurrent of anticipation—perfectly reflecting the festival’s promise to transport audiences into realms where the impossible becomes tangible.

This year’s programming, running from September 18-20, 2025, at the Christine Cinéma Club in Paris, promises to deliver on the poster’s visual promise with carefully curated sessions that will explore the depths of human imagination and the boundaries of cinematic storytelling. The artistic vision of Bianconi and Eid serves as the perfect gateway to three days of wonder, inviting cinephiles to step into a world where the marvelous awaits at every turn.
