A few favorite moments from Opening Night at The American French Film Festival, where we kicked off our 30th edition with the Los Angeles premiere of IN WAVES, presented in partnership with Netflix.

A heartfelt thank-you to Air Tahiti Nui, an official sponsor of TAFFF, for helping us bring French cinema to Los Angeles for more than 20 years. Each edition gives filmmakers and audiences from around the world a place to meet and experience French cinema together. We’re proud to share that sense of connection with Air Tahiti Nui, whose flights bring people closer to places and cultures they might otherwise only know from the screen.

Vote for your favorite film this week for a chance to win round-trip flights to Paris for two, courtesy of Air Tahiti Nui!

The American French Film Festival is presented by the Franco-American Cultural Fund, a partnership of the Directors Guild of America, the Motion Picture Association, Sacem, and the Writers Guild of America West.
