The world’s biggest online French movie festival, known as MyFrenchFilmFestival, begins today. It provides film enthusiasts, directors, and viewers worldwide with an opportunity to watch 20 French short and feature films.
15 years back, Unifrance established a festival that provides a distinctive venue for global audiences to savor French cinema. The 2025 event aims to champion creativity, diversity, and thought-provoking narratives that tackle both timeless and contemporary issues using a diverse collection of movies.
From January 17 to February 17, the 15th installment of MyFrenchFilmFestival will exhibit twenty movies. Among these, nine feature films will compete—four of which are first-time productions—and nine short films will also be presented. Additionally, there’s a unique silent animation short film tailored for younger viewers.
The jury for MFFF’s 2025 competition includes Zar Amir, a French-Iranian actor, producer, and director; Viggo Mortensen, an actor and director from Denmark and America; Noémie Merlant, a French actress and director; Tarik Saleh, a filmmaker from Sweden; and Andrey Zvyagintsev, a director from Russia. These esteemed professionals will be relied upon to choose the winner of this year’s Grand Prix, which is given to one of the competing feature films.
Besides the jury recognition, MFFF also offers awards selected by media professionals worldwide, film festival attendees, and content producers themselves.
This year’s selection of movies has garnered acclaim at prominent global film festivals and addresses a wide range of topics, including evolving family structures, combating sexism and sexual misconduct, social disparity, and the pursuit of self-discovery.
In addition to their 2025 lineup, Movies for Freedom Festival (MFFF) will feature films that redefine our understanding of the world we live in. These films tackle intricate societal matters or provide a captivating cinematic journey into realms of enchantment and mystery. By doing so, MFFF underscores cinema’s ability to influence our point of view.
One notable feature of the 2025 edition is the strong presence of female directors. In fact, about half of the films shown this year were either directed or co-directed by women.
This year’s selection of short films can be watched for free worldwide on MyFrenchFilmFestival.com. However, most feature-length films (excluding “Making of”) are available for free viewing only in Spanish-speaking Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Russia/CIS, South-East Asia, Baltic States (except Latvia) and Ukraine. If a feature film is not available for free, it can be purchased individually for €1.99 or the entire pack can be bought for €7.99 in regions where there are no geoblocks on them.
To enhance the viewer’s experience by making it more inclusive and understandable, films on MFFF or any of its 50 international partner platforms will be provided with subtitles in eight different languages: Arabic, English, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Spanish.
