A forerunner which is still in its infancy but constant in its desire to editorialise the online presence of French film, MyFrenchFilmFestival - the first wholly online French-language film festival in the world - is returning for its 13th edition, organised by Unifrance and unspooling between 13 January and 13 February. The event, which has racked up 80 million views since its creation in 2010 and 11 million views last year, will be accessible on MyFrenchFilmFestival.com, as well as on upwards of 70 platforms.

A highly distinguished jury of filmmakers (entrusted with a prize worth 15,000 euros) has been assembled for this section, composed of Ukraine’s Sergei Loznitsa, Spain’s Albert Serra, Finland’s Juho Kuosmanen, French-German-Iranian talent Emily Atef and Japan’s Chie Hayakawa. Two other awards are set to be decided upon by the audience and the international press jury.

Films worth a mention screening out of competition include Caroline Monnet’s Canadian feature Bootlegger and Maurice Pialat’s To Our Loves on the heritage side of things, while 17 short films (including ten in competition) are also on the agenda.

These short films will be available for free all over the world, while feature films in the offing will be accessible for €1.99 each (or €7.99 for a package). The festival will be totally free in Africa, Latin America, South-East Asia, South Korea, Romania, Russia and Ukraine. All films will be subtitled for all countries in 12 languages: German, English, Korean, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Russian, as well as in Arabic, Mandarin and Ukrainian for the very first time. A sizeable chunk of these films will also be available in various other languages on certain partner platforms, namely Bahasa, Hungarian, Romanian, Turkish and Vietnamese.
