OFOF is the annual Federation of AFUSA film program offering contemporary and classic French-language cinema.

All films undergo a rigorous evaluation in order to be chosen as the OFOF selection(s). The films are featured nationally as part of AF chapter programming. It is an important tool for learning French and understanding Francophone culture. Member chapters should review the program logistics below and email us with any questions.

How the Program Works:

One Film One Federation (OFOF), in collaboration with Telescope Film, presents French Cinémathèque – a celebration of Francophone cinema offering a curated selection of monthly films from January – December, 2024. AF Chapter members worldwide can watch the monthly selection on specified streaming platforms followed by a free, hosted discussion in English with Peter Debruge, Chief Film Critic, Variety.

Telescope Film, the only site in the US exclusively for international film and TV, now offers a dedicated page for France. Looking for a particular French film or show? Search our comprehensive database to find out if it’s streaming in the US and where. Not sure what to watch (as long as it’s French!)? See what’s new and what’s popular from France, or browse our curated content – there’s a new themed collection every month. From the classics of the French New Wave to the latest series, the French page on Telescope is a home for fans of French film and TV.
