THE FRENCH UNION OF FILM CRITICS IS CELEBRATING ITS 80th ANNIVERSARY!
Criticism is a commitment. We have upheld it together since 1946 at the French Union of Film Critics.
Because we love cinema, because we support those who create it, and because we speak to the intelligence of audiences, we champion a form of criticism that is free, independent, and vibrant.
