Supported by the the City of Paris and chaired by actress Charlotte Rampling, the festival takes place each year throughout the capital early summer in over 15 different theatres in Paris and grows every year with record attendance.

The festival, targeted as an annual popular event, aims at discovering new talents, exploring a wide range of cinematic styles at the beginning of each summer. It includes a selection of international films in competition, a series of premieres and sidebar programs, tributes, workshops and a coproduction platform (Paris Project) that filmmakers and an enthusiastic audience love to attend.

Next edition will take place from July 5 to 12, 2014.
