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.

Yesterday at the DGA: INSIDE GAZA by Hélène Lam Trong.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has blocked international press access to the Gaza Strip. The Agence France-Presse staff in Gaza, its reporters and photographers, were among the few professional journalists documenting the war. Western outlets refused to publish their work. Then they and their families became targets.
Now in exile, these AFP journalists bear witness to what it took to cover the deadliest war ever recorded for journalists, and to how far factual journalism is under attack today. The future of war reporting is at stake.
After the screening, Hélène Lam Trong was in conversation with AFP Los Angeles correspondent Paula Ramón.
Thank you to everyone who stayed for the conversation. Merci @afpnewsagency and @helenelamtrong

Last night at the DGA, a full house watched Strawberries (Fraises), directed by Laïla Marrakchi and inspired by Aida Alami’s reporting.
Hasna wants to buy a home for her children. To pick strawberries in Spain for a pittance, she must first hand over her passport, family records, a blood test, her husband’s permission and a clean record. What follows is a story of exploitation, and of women who find the courage to speak and the solidarity to survive it together.
Here in California, where so much of our food is picked by migrant women, the film hits close to home. Thank you to writer Erin Digman for a powerful Q&A.
Strawberries premiered in Un Certain Regard at Cannes and is Morocco’s submission for Best International Feature at the 2027 Academy Awards. 🍓
