A celebration of French and American independent film comes to the Champs-Élysées in June 18 – 25 June 2024
The Champs-Élysées Film Festival is a major international film festival in Paris founded in 2012 by producer, distributor and exhibitor Sophie Dulac. It is an unmissable event to discover the best of French and American independent cinema. The festival aims to be a bridge between the French and American cinema as well as a meeting platform for the young cinematographic and musical creation. The festival takes place every year in June in all the theaters of the most beautiful avenue in the world with a selection of French and American films in competition, previews, guests of honor and a cutting-edge musical selection.
At the heart of the festival, the feature and short film competitions are designed to highlight new works, offering a panorama of the latest independent productions from both countries. Each year, the festival brings together more than 25,000 spectators and professionals on the Champs-Élysées. The festival fervently supports emerging talents, freedom of tone, art house and experimental areas and each year presents daring, unseen and committed films.
