The story

Francophone Film Festival Yerevan in Yerevan

A free annual March film festival at Yerevan's Moscow Cinema showcasing contemporary Francophone cinema from France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada, organized by four national embassies and now in its ninth edition, with all films subtitled in Armenian. Its free admission and Armenian subtitles make Francophone cinema genuinely accessible to local audiences citywide.

Francophone Film Festival brings contemporary French-language cinema to Yerevan's Moscow Cinema each March, organized by the French Embassy and French Institute of Armenia in partnership with the embassies of Belgium, Switzerland and Canada, reflecting the genuinely international scope of Francophone filmmaking rather than confining the programme purely to films from France itself.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Backed jointly by the embassies of France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada rather than a single national film office, and offering completely free admission with Armenian subtitles on every film, this festival achieves a genuinely broad geographic representation of Francophone cinema while removing every practical barrier to local audience access

02

The mystery stays covered

That combination of joint four-nation embassy backing and completely free, subtitled access gives this festival a reach and accessibility considerably broader than typical single-country cultural film programming held elsewhere in the region
