The Paris Art and Movie Awards has been leading the wave of new film festivals in Paris for the past 15 years. When it launched, it was the only independent festival held in both English and French, welcoming American and international filmmakers to take part in a truly bilingual event.
Since then, the PAMA has grown into a respected international event, recognized across the film, music, television, and arts industries. Over the years, we’ve had the honor of welcoming Sharon Stone in person, hosting events featuring Alex Proyas and William Baldwin, and screening films starring Kirsten Dunst, Gérard Depardieu, Gaspard Ulliel, Sam Rockwell, Shia LaBeouf, Laetitia Casta, and many more.
Our juries have included distinguished artists such as Mélanie Doutey, Mark Dacascos, Paz de la Huerta, Mónica Cruz, and numerous others who share our passion for artistic excellence.
Our mission remains the same: to encourage and support artists and filmmakers, helping them build confidence and motivation to create their next film. The festival continues to operate on a human scale—approachable, authentic, and focused on what filmmakers truly need and appreciate.
With a broad range of artistic and technical awards, the PAMA recognizes every key role in filmmaking and continues to expand its categories each year to celebrate an even wider spectrum of creative talent.
