Organised since 2017, the Champs-Élysées Film Festival US Tour offers the possibility for American audiences to discover short and feature films from its official selection, in the aim to premiere the New French Generation abroad, and to shed light on emerging talents and new voices of independent French creation. This event also aims to echo on American grounds, the action led in France by this festival, in order to create a genuine cultural emulation between the two countries. “It is essential to pursue our engagement and to maintain these strong links with American cultural institutions and universities that promote and support the festival each year. Raging life force and resistance could be apt descriptors of independent cinema, one we defend regardless of genre within our selections. More than ever, this is a will to provoke human and artistic discussions, emotions and discoveries between our two countries.”
Justine Lévêque – Artistic Director of Champs-Elysées Film Festival
