UniFrance has suspended international travel for Rendez-Vous with French Cinema festival guests due to health concerns related to COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The festival’s screenings will continue as planned, but unfortunately, most in-person appearances will be canceled. A list of affected events can be found below.

Film at Lincoln Center and UniFrance regret any inconvenience caused by these changes, and share the disappointment of French film lovers who were anticipating the filmmakers’ attendance.

The health, wellness, and safety of our staff, audiences, and artists is our top priority. We are following all CDC guidelines and encouraging our employees to be vigilant and do the same. Our team is in touch with the State and City Departments of Health. We are monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates as needed.
