๐ฌ At TAFFF 2021, students discovered Owning It, presented as part of our High School Screenings program in partnership with @elma.losangeles, with actress Tracy Gotoas joining the festival to bring Sanou`s story to life.
Set inside one of France`s most prestigious schools, the film explores ambition, identity, belonging, and what it means to find your place in a world that wasn`t built for you.
A powerful story for young audiencesโand a reminder that cinema can spark conversations about confidence, opportunity, and belonging that extend far beyond the classroom.

๐ฌ High School Screenings: Inspiring the Next Generation of Film Lovers
For three decades, The American French Film Festival has been committed to introducing young audiences to the richness of French cinema. Since 2008, our High School Screenings, presented in partnership with @elmacinema, have given students the opportunity to discover acclaimed French films, meet filmmakers, and engage in conversations that extend far beyond the classroom.
The program also includes a Film Review Competition. Since 2016, TAFFF has partnered with @elma.losangeles and the @aatfrench to invite students and teachers attending the High School Screenings to submit reviews of the films they experience. The competition encourages participants to think critically, strengthen their writing skills, and share their unique perspectives on French cinema.
๐ฉ RSVP NOW at school.theusfrenchfilmfest@gmail.com if you are a high school and would like to join 120 high schools and watch a French film with a Q&A Nov 2 - Nov 6.
Throughout the week, we`ll be highlighting the films, filmmakers, and special guests featured in our High School Screenings. Stay tuned to discover the stories behind this program - and how French cinema continues to inspire the next generation of audiences!
