| THE
NEW SEASON IS HERE ! ! !
We would like to invite you to apply for a grant from The
Tournées Festival, a program of FACE,
designed to help bring contemporary French cinema to your
college or university campus.
The Tournées Festival was
conceived to encourage schools to begin their own self-sustaining
French film festivals. Since its inception, the program has
partnered with hundreds of universities and made it possible
for more than 300,000 students to discover French-language
films. The Tournées Festival
distributes approximately $180,000 in grants annually.
We are delighted to announce an increase in the amount of
the award for screenings in 35mm. Schools that show films
in this format will now receive a grant of $2,300 to show
five films ($460 per film). We hope that this increased award
will be helpful to cover additional expenses incurred in presenting
35mm prints and we also hope that it will encourage more universities
to show films in that format. Schools that show films on DVD
will continue to receive a grant of $1,800 to show five films
($360 per film). Schools that show a mix of DVD and 35mm prints
will receive an award corresponding to each film's format.
Please note the new application deadlines:
June 30, 2008 for those who wish to program
films in the fall semester, and October 1, 2008
for those scheduling their films in the spring semester.
We are delighted to be able to propose a varied selection
of films, a wide array of genres, many French co-productions,
and films by directors ranging from unique new voices to established
figures. We hope you will be inspired by the
selection of films, and we look forward to receiving
your application.
The Tournées Festival is made possible
with the generous support of the French Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, the Centre National de la Cinématographie,
the Grand Marnier Foundation, the Florence Gould Foundation,
the Franco-American Cultural Fund (with SACEM, the Writers
Guild of America, the Directors Guild of America and the Motion
Picture Association), Highbrow Entertainment and Agnès
B.
