Paris Film Festival is a  unique monthly film festival which was created as a response for international demand for art films and showcase opportunity for young emerging talent.  Each month we were organising screening featuring best films from actual month and networking event in hearth of Paris. However, due to coronavirus crisis and resulting travel restrictions and government regulations we were forced to cancel our events and move whole festival into the online space.  We created section "PFF TV" on our website where we showcasing winning films (at least a trailer if we not going to obtain permission to screen whole film there) along with details of the production company , director and interviews. Each month we are also creating catalogue of some of the winners and sending it to french distributors.
