French Cinema Prepares to Celebrate 50th César Awards

The landmark ceremony, honoring the best in French film, will take place on February 28 at the Olympia in Paris.

The 50th César Awards will recognize outstanding achievements in French cinema, with a focus on the best films and performances of the past year.
Canal+ is streaming a curated collection of all past winners of the César for Best Film, offering audiences a retrospective of French cinema history.
Justine Triet's 'Anatomie d’une Chute,' which achieved the rare feat of winning both the Palme d'Or and the César for Best Film in 2024, is among the recent highlights.
The ceremony has historically been dominated by male filmmakers, with only five women having won the Best Film César since its inception in 1976.
This year's event will feature discussions on the evolution of French cinema and its enduring influence, as well as reflections on past César winners.
