French-Iranian actress Zar Amir, American-Danish actor and filmmaker Viggo Mortensen, French actress and director Noémie Merlant, Swedish filmmaker, screenwriter and producer Tarik Saleh and Russian director and screenwriter Andreï Zviaguintsev are all set to grace the splendid jury of filmmakers (set to award the festival’s Grand Prize, consisting of 15,000 euros, to the winning feature film) which Unifrance has assembled for the 15th MyFrenchFilmFestival, which is the first French-language film festival in the world to fully unfold online and which is making its return this year from 17 January to 17 February.

Having pulled together a vast community of international cinephiles over the years, the event will be accessible via MyFrenchFilmFestival.com, as well as across fifty or so platforms around the world. For the record, the festival has clocked up 104 million viewings since its creation (12 million of which were recorded last year).

Three other prizes will be awarded respectively by the audience, the international press jury and a jury composed of content creators.

Equally noteworthy in the heritage film category and screening out of competition is Pierre Salvadori’s Les apprentis (1995), not to mention the 10 short films elevating the agenda (nine of which are screening in competition).

The festival’s short films will be available for free all around the world on MyFrenchFilmFestival.com while the feature films will cost €1.99 each (or €7.99 per package). The event will unfold exclusively online (with the exception of the movie Making of) in Spanish-speaking Latin America, Africa, the Near and Middle East, Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Ukraine, the Baltic States (apart from Latvia) and Southeast Asia. All of this year’s films will be subtitled in 8 languages - German, English, Arab, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Portuguese - in all countries.
