THE AMERICAN FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL (formerly COLCOA FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL) was created in 1997 by the Franco- American Cultural Fund (FACF), a unique partnership between the Directors Guild of America, the Motion Picture Association, la SACEM and the Writers Guild of America West. For the last 27 years, the event has been committed to promoting the best new French films and series in the U.S. and to showcasing in Hollywood the vitality and the diversity of French cinema, television, and shorts.
