Albertine Foundation’s annual Festival Grant helps faculty bring French cinema to U.S. college and university campuses. Part of the French for All initiative by Villa Albertine and Albertine Foundation, Albertine Cinémathèque offers a curated film selection and resources for campus festivals, including opportunities for filmmakers to speak with students.
