Celebrating Francophone cinema

Save the Date SDFFF - FFC.jpg

The San Diego French Film Festival is an annual event held in the spring in San Diego, California, organized by the

Alliance Française San Diego, dedicated to showcasing contemporary francophone cinema. Our next and 5th edition, will be held on May 4-7, 2025 at THE LOT La Jolla.

​

The Festival celebrates francophone cultures, language, and the art of filmmaking by presenting a selection of films, in French, to the local community
 

Throughout the Festival, attendees have the opportunity to watch a diverse selection of films from various francophone countries (with English subtitles). These films have the power to move, enlighten, inspire, inform, and transform the audience. Watching these films in a theater setting add to the overall experience, as the collective atmosphere and shared emotions intensify the impact of the storytelling.

​

Overall, the Festival serves as a bridge between cultures, connecting people through the universal language of cinema. It creates a space where individuals can immerse themselves in the beauty and power of francophone films, fostering understanding, appreciation, and dialogue among attendees.

​

In addition to the Festival, the Alliance Française San Diego shares francophone movies each month through the

San Diego French Film Club.
