The Champs-Élysées Film Festival is a film festival that takes place annually in Paris, France. The festival consists of French and American feature-length films and short films. There are competitive films that may be eligible for several awards, and a group of out-of-competition selections like retrospectives and avant-premieres.[1] Two film industry-targeted events are hosted alongside the Festival: the US in Progress Paris program and the Paris Coproduction Village, the latter co-organized with Les Arcs European Film Festival. Around 25,000 spectators and professionals attend the festival each year, and 60,000 people attended the free-of-charge, digital 2020 screenings.[2]

Unlike many festivals, Champs-Élysées includes documentaries in the official competition rather than in a special section.[3]

Though the Champs-Élysées Film Festival is usually held annually in June,[1] the 10th Champs-Élysées Film Festival was held from 14 to 21 September 2021.[4] The latest Champs-Élysées Film Festival was held from 18 to 25 June 2024, making it the 13th edition.[5][6]

History

The Festival was created by Paris-based French film distributor and exhibitor Sophie Dulac to build a bridge between the French and American film industries.[7] Participating movie theaters are located alongside the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris, including the Balzac, Gaumont Champs-Elysées, the Lincoln, the Publicis Cinéma and UGC George V.[8][9]
