Formerly known as City of Lights, City of Angels, the 26th annual festival returns, bringing 75 films and series and 20 shorts to the weeklong event: 'It’s a fresh new name that speaks clearly about what this festival has to offer.'
The films will compete for The American French Film Festival Awards, in which the audience will vote in three categories: cinema, television and shorts. Additionally, a student jury of high school and college students will vote for the American Students Award, while a professional jury will vote for best short film.
In programming the festival, Truffart strives for the filmmakers — veterans and newcomers alike — to have the chance to make connections within the industry. Franco-American Cultural Fund president Cécile Rap-Veber emphasizes the “business dimension” of the festival that allows for exchanges between professionals, whether it be in panels, Q&As or dedicated meetings.
“So many of these films are representative of various issues that will be universal,” says Writers Guild of America representative and Franco-American Cultural Fund board member Andrea Berloff. “I think that the goal of the Franco-American Cultural Fund is trying hard to bridge the gaps and have people understand one another better. I think a lot of these films help with that.”
