Air France loves cinema
Air France has always cultivated strong ties with cinema, a source of dreams, just like air travel. Throughout its history, Air France has transported film crews, assisted with productions, and of course continues to screen a vast selection of films during the flight.
Ever since the first movie shown – An American in Paris – on board a Constellation flying from New York to Paris in 1951, cinema has been part of Air France’s DNA, and is now a key part of the travel experience.
In all its long-haul cabins, Air France promotes cinema all year round on its 38,000 high-definition, individual screens. The company offers 1,500 hours of in-flight entertainment including a wide selection of French and American films and titles that have won awards at various international festivals. Its vast offer of carefully selected films are screened in their original version.
The entertainment offer also includes series, podcasts and content adapted for young travellers, as well as the tastes and cultures of all its customers.

Together, the two partners will co-host an exclusive dinner attended by members of the jury, among others. The dinner will be held at Ciro’s, the iconic restaurant on Deauville’s famous boardwalk, during the festival’s opening weekend.
