The American French Film Festival 2026

The American French Film Festival (TAFFF) is the premier destination in the U.S. for French cinema and television. Every fall, Los Angeles becomes the launchpad for the year’s most acclaimed French films and series—many making their U.S. debut before joining the global awards race.

Held at the Directors Guild of America on Sunset Boulevard, TAFFF blends Hollywood power with European artistry. It is where A-list talent, industry insiders, and tastemakers converge—a red-carpet event that consistently attracts Oscar contenders, global media coverage, and cultural influencers.

For brands, TAFFF offers a direct connection to Hollywood decision-makers, affluent film lovers, and an international creative elite. The festival drives millions of impressions through its programming, red-carpet premieres, panels, education programs, and year-round media partnerships.

With past premieres backed by Netflix, Canal+, France Télévisions, and Lionsgate, and talent including Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Marion Cotillard, Jacques Audiard, and Quentin Tarantino, TAFFF is a proven cultural amplifier and Hollywood spotlight.
