Atlanta French Film Festival

Atlanta has become the new world capital of film production, from blockbusters to independent films. Atlanta French Film Festival promotes French-speaking cinema through the French Film Award in the city of Atlanta, Georgia by screening short films from a new generation of French, Canadian, African filmmakers… Atlanta French Film Festival opens the dialogue between worlds.

The idea of this festival is to create bridges between this film industry and new talents. Conferences, seminars and professional meetings energize the festival between screenings.
The screenings will take place in April 2025 at the famous independent cinema, the Tara Theater. Youth film workshops, professional meetings and podcast sessions open to the public will take place in partnership with the Alliance française d’Atlanta.
