French independent feature-length films

Back to Competitions

To inaugurate the Champs-Élysées Film Festival’s first French feature-film competition discover six films covering a broad spectrum of the latest independent production, promoting strong and singular identities – from a post-apocalyptic film to a romantic comedy through social chronicles – brought together by their ways of changing the terms and revisiting the genres.

  Each screening will be presented by the films crews and will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Cinéma Teaser.
