Louis Roederer Foundation Rising Star Award, revealing the most promising actors

The Louis Roederer Foundation supports contemporary artistic creation and the transmission of knowledge. 

Founded in 2011, the Foundation accompanies ambitious cultural initiatives led by renowned institutions both in France and abroad. It provides steadfast support to the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Jeu de Paume in Paris, the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici, and the Villa Albertine in the United States. 

The Foundation is committed to supporting various aspects of the artistic disciplines it promotes. In the cinema, it encourages the dissemination of cinematic creativity and innovation through the Jeu de Paume and the carte blanche Art & Science in collaboration with Le Fresnoy. Through the Semaine de la Critique at the Cannes Film Festival, it highlights the performances of new talent.

"Eight years ago already, with the team of the Semaine de la Critique, we created the Rising Star Award, which we hold most dear. Each year it finds, encourages and rewards young actors or actresses for their promising debut, with the aim of revealing the rising stars of tomorrow."
