FRENCH CULTURE IN MARCH
Cinema in March 2021

Current program

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

The universities in the southeast accounted for nearly one-quarter of the participating American universities.

The Cultural services of the United States in Atlanta has given impetus to new synergies and dynamics between French departments and Alliances Françaises of the Southeast and bookshop (pooling of resources, sharing events, networking).  At the begining of March, we organized the first masterclass with the filmmaker Frank Beauvais.

The next masterclass is on March 25 with Rosalie Varda. Rosalie Varda is a costume designer, film producer and Agnès Varda's daughter.
