The Paris Art and Movie Awards celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2020, with a digital edition that reached more than 30,000 viewers.
We are putting all of efforts and expertise in providing real exchanges and events to support and promote independent filmmakers.
Covid 19 and the massive switch to digital events revealed many festivals were not real events.
The Paris Art & Movie Awards is. We produce interviews, QnAs, even talk shows, a digital award ceremony, and of course, top notch virtual events.
We do hope 2021 will allow for in person events. But you can also be certain we are ready to make our 11th edition another big one, whatever happens.

The Β« PAMA Β» has been ranked, as soon as its second year, the second festival not to miss in Paris, by The Culture Trip Magazine. The festival is today the best festival in Paris, the only one to be held in english for international attendance, and the sole offering a real award ceremony.
We keep supporting and promoting winners and nominees long after their nomination or their win : we follow you on Facebook and Instagram, we share your work⦠We also have a policy of inviting former winners to become Judges, and former nominees to walk on stage to give away awards to their fellow filmmakers.
We are a human scale festival, often compared to the hottest New-York underground and dynamic events. We have partnerships with media, established companies, and the screening always takes place in grand historic venues in Paris.
We are proud to work with the French national charity CHILDRENβS VOICE. We offer free screening to very young kids, who often never went to a movie theatre before, and to young adults, some with difficult family backgrounds.
You can reach us if you have a question using the email address on the left side. We try to answer each email asap, priority always being given to films and filmmakers in actual competition or already having submitted.
