Tournées Film Festival is a program which aims to bring French cinema to American colleges and university campuses. Our objective in providing grants every year is to fund festival endeavors that can eventually become permanent and self-sustaining.

Founded in 1995, Tournées Film Festival has partnered with over 700 universities, reaching an audience of over half a million students and community members all across the United States.

Tournées Film Festival reflects the diversity and the richness of French cinema through various genres—fiction, documentary, animation and repertory films—giving participants the opportunity to expand their programming and for audiences to experience French cinema through a wider lens.

We are fortunate to partner again with the Franco-American Cultural Fund, whose support makes the addition of the Classics Selection and the corresponding increase in the Tournées Film Festival grant award possible.

This year, Tournées Film Festival presents an eclectic collection of films showcasing the range and talents of Francophone cinema.
