The Tournées Festival is a program of FACE, in partnership with the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, which aims to bring contemporary French cinema to American college and university campuses. The program distributes close to $200,000 in grants annually to encourage schools to begin their own self-sustaining French film festivals. Now in its 16th year, The Tournées Festival has partnered with more than 350 universities, making it possible for more than 450,000 students to discover French-language films.
We are pleased to offer a wide variety of films that represent the best of contemporary French cinema. The films span generational and geographic borders, offer a range of genres and subjects, and showcase innovations in both style and storytelling. There are films by first-time directors alongside those from respected and revered figures in French cinema.
Please note the two application deadlines:
June 30th for those who wish to present the program in the fall semester, and
October 1st for those planning a spring program.
The Tournées Festival is made possible with the generous support of: French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Centre National de la Cinématographie et de l'image animée, Grand Marnier Foundation, Florence Gould Foundation and highbrow entertainment.
