Proof of this is the tribute to Juliette Binoche in 2025, the invitations to Rosalie Varda and filmmakers Nicolas Philibert, Leos Carax, and Laurent Cantet, as well as the ongoing partnership with the Cannes Film Festival's Critics' Week, the Jean Vigo Prize, and the Queer Palm, initiatives that have made it possible to promote French cinema in all its diversity, support creation, and encourage co-production between the two countries.
