Launched in 2011, MyFrenchFilmFestival is back for a 13th edition. The international event, which has the particularity of being entirely accessible online, has some great surprises in store for you this year.

These little pearls will compete to obtain one of the MyFFF awards: the Public Prize, the International Press Prize or the prestigious Grand Jury Prize.
The latter will be awarded by an exceptional jury, bringing together the ultimate filmmakers from all walks of life. We find there indeed the Franco-Iranian director Emily Atef (More than ever), the Japanese director Chie Hayakawa (Plan 75), the Finnish director Juho Kuosmanen (Compartment n ° 6), the Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa (In the mist) , without forgetting the Spaniard Albert Serra who recently dazzled us with his Pacifiction, worn by Benoît Magimel.

From the strange and disturbing Que la Bête Monte to the moving Marianne, the spectators are not at the end of their surprises… nor their emotions!
