ALBERTINE CINÉMATHÈQUE is a GRANT program of Villa Albertine and FACE Foundation, with the support of the CNC and Fonds Culturel Franco-Américain, which aims to present recently released high profile independent French films on US campuses. By introducing college students to French films through their varied forms, our program is nurturing an enduring love for a very diverse and evolving cinema.

Faculty members of US universities or colleges can join our program for free and take advantage of our broad offering, of which our long-standing grant program, Tournées Film Festival, is now part. Each year, our program centers around a curated Film Selection highlighting some of the most captivating French films. Our members can: book those films for events on campus, organize a full festival and apply for our Festival Grant, access our extensive Educational Resources containing interviews with filmmakers to enhance discussions in the classroom, or simply invite their students to attend our free virtual Film Club screenings followed by Q&As with acclaimed French directors. 

Whichever way they choose, our members are championing French Cinema and inspiring the younger generation to be inquisitive about the world around them.   

Call for applications for the FESTIVAL GRANT open until November 5
