The Prehistory Film Festival will take place in 2026 at the Pech Merle Prehistory Center in Cabrerets, France. Organized by the association Objectif Préhistoire, the event will run over two days and will showcase recent films, including documentaries, fictional works, and animations, that explore prehistory and related fields such as genetics, dating methods, and new technologies. The festival will feature film screenings, discussions, and the participation of prehistorians and filmmakers. Four awards will be given out at the end of the competition: the Grand Jury Prize, the Science Communication Prize, the Original Approach Prize, and the Audience Prize. Two films produced by Inrap, a French research institute focused on archaeology and heritage, have been chosen for the official selection of the festival.
