The Festival Napoleon is in one of Paris's most iconic movie theaters: Cinema Club de l'Etoile. Located at the corner of Champs Elysees Avenue, this movie theater is right at the corner of the Arc of Triumph. The film submission aims to award filmmakers during the physical award ceremony on November 11th, 2024, at 8pm. All film types and languages are welcome. We will screen several of the selected films.

A press release with the names of all participants will be published on hundreds of websites. The winners will receive extensive press coverage.

    Thanks Stephen

  • Napoleon is a historical figure who, more than 200 years after his death, still arouses curiosity around the world and fully justifies the existence of a Festival in his honor.
    Thank you David Serero for this wonderful idea. I wish you the best of luck for future editions.
