WELCOME TO THE PAMA, PARIS MOVIE AWARDS
English below.
Acteur culturel reconnu de la scène cinématographique parisienne, le Paris Movie Awards s’est imposé au fil des années comme une plateforme dédiée aux cinéastes indépendants et émergents, offrant à Paris un espace de rencontre entre talents internationaux, professionnels de l’industrie et nouveaux regards du cinéma.
Par le passé, les membres du jury ont inclus Mónica Cruz, Mark Dacascos et Mélanie Doutey.
Le festival a également accueilli des invités tels que Sharon Stone, William Baldwin, Alex Proyas et Samuel Arnold, perpétuant une tradition de rencontre entre artistes confirmés et nouvelles voix du cinéma, indépendamment du niveau de reconnaissance ou de l’étape de carrière.
Le travail de fond du PAMA s’est également traduit par une reconnaissance du rôle du festival sur la scène culturelle par les médias et au sein de l’industrie. Le festival a notamment été présenté comme The #1 Film Festival in Paris, France par FOX 35 Orlando et a été chroniqué sur les chaînes américaines FOX, CBS et NBC.
Sur FilmFreeway, partenaire historique du PAMA, le festival a reçu et continue de recevoir de nombreuses distinctions :
– Top 100 Best Reviewed Festival
– Label Gold
– Luminary Festival (festival historique de plus de 15 ans)
– Festival noté 5 étoiles sur la base des avis des participants
Le festival est également reconnu comme Local Favorite par Culture Trip et figure parmi les festivals qualifiants sur IMDb et IMDbPro.
Après quinze années à construire des passerelles entre les scènes cinématographiques de Paris et de Los Angeles, le festival ouvre aujourd’hui un nouveau chapitre. À partir de 2026, des événements seront organisés simultanément dans les deux villes, offrant aux artistes indépendants une visibilité accrue sur deux continents, au cœur de deux des grandes capitales mondiales du cinéma.
