Since 1995, the Périphérie association organizes the Rencontres du cinéma documentaire (Meetings of Documentary Cinema), and since 2005 presents each October a one-week long non-competitive festival at the cinema Le Méliès of Montreuil. Open to diverse audiences, the festival brings together heritage films and recent works around a cinematic theme. This year's theme revolves around the "Féminin - Masculin" concepts and has Barbara Hammer as its representative in the more experimental approaches.
