About this event
Introduction
The L’Appel des chantiers festival returns for its 8th edition on October 23, 24, and 25, 2026!
Organized by the association “Les chantiers du réel,” made up of students from Marseille’s documentary master’s program, the festival aims to screen, champion, and foster discussion around creative documentary works.
This edition’s program includes: – 15 films screened in the presence of their directors; – an opening night at the Saint-Charles faculty with a special guest, a filmmaker and former student of the documentary master’s program, who will present his latest film; – and a weekend of screenings at Videodrome 2, on Cours Julien!
This year, we are showcasing films by emerging filmmakers, students or graduates of the documentary master’s program, students from other film schools, or filmmakers who have self-produced their films, as well as films by two Tunisian filmmakers from the ISAMM school in Tunis.
Aurore
by Annabelle Martella | 2026 | France | 17 min | No dialogue
A young woman waits for Prince Charming…
Je était une autre
by Manon Salmon | 2025 | France | 1h10
Seven women. All have experienced domestic violence. In a face-to-face encounter, they confront who they were yesterday. They share their experiences, examine their stories, and together free themselves from the ties that kept them down.

Pay what you can; no membership required.
The box office opens 30 minutes before each screening.
We operate on a pay-what-you-can basis (everyone pays what they want/can/think is fair). We believe pay-what-you-can pricing allows everyone to experience the things that interest them and to value the work accomplished as they see fit.
