The Alliance Française de Seattle is delighted to virtually host the Seattle edition of the Champs-Elysées Film
Festival US Tour
for the first time, by showcasing a program of short and feature films on December 12 & 13, 2020 in collaboration with the Northwest
Film Forum.
Organized since 2017, the US Tour of Champs-Elysées Film Festival
brings to an American audience a rich variety of French short and feature independent films. The festival aims to showcase emerging
talents and new voices in French independent cinema. This event is also intended to be an echo in the United States of their action in
France, for the creation of real cultural emulation between these two countries.
The US Tour will take place virtually with support from Justine Lévêque, artistic director of the festival, and will feature several
pre-recorded Q&As with directors.
