In a city with a worldwide association to cinema, the Champs-Élysées Film Festival will be an annual celebration of film. Open to every kind of cinematic format, the Champs-Élysées Film Festival will allow French audiences to become acquainted with the best in American cinema from the newest trends to the latest film phenomena while showcasing films by both internationally renowned filmmakers as well as industry newcomers.
The Festival will embrace films from the entire cinematic landscape. As in France, American film has always been highly diverse and inventive and has always played an important role in shaping the film language. Like Hollywood, the Champs-Élysées Film Festival embraces skilfully produced big-budget films, independent films and auteur passion projects.
The Festival will also provide a unique forum for the discussion of film amongst the industry’s top directors, actors, professionals and film students. Against the backdrop of the internationally well known Champs-Élysées, the Festival will offer, over the course of one week, the very best in French and American film.
