From April 8 to 11, the Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Marseille and the Espace de Réflexion Ethique Paca Corse, in partnership with the cinema Les Variétés and our media Marcelle, are organizing an ethics festival in health and cinema.
This event will allow Marseille to contribute to the National Bioethics Conventions 2026. These conventions are taking place for several months throughout France, initiated by the National Consultative Ethics Committee for the Life and Health Sciences (CCNE).
This event is supported by the Regional Health Agency PACA.
Free entry to Cinema Les Variétés – 37, rue Vincent Scotto – Marseille 1er
Each film will be followed by a discussion led by various speakers from the fields of health, medical ethics, philosophy, and social sciences. This will result in the creation of a document that will contribute Marseille’s perspective to the National Bioethics Conventions 2026.
