Intrepid Travel has been announced as the Presenting Partner for the 2025 Alliance Française French Film Festival (AFFFF), bringing the best of contemporary French cinema to Australian audiences.
The festival will take place from March 4 to April 21, 2025, across more than 31 cinemas nationwide. AFFFF is Australia’s second-largest paid cultural event, with 188,000 people attending last year.
As the world’s largest adventure travel company, Intrepid Travel values culture, connection, and storytelling—principles that resonate with both travel and film. This partnership is part of Intrepid’s strategy to grow interest in Southern Europe, encouraging more travelers to explore the diverse regions of France and beyond.
“Travel and film both have a unique ability to unite people,” said Brett Mitchell, Managing Director of Intrepid Travel ANZ. “Whether it’s through a powerful film or an unforgettable journey, both encourage curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world. This partnership aligns with our values, and we’re excited to engage a new audience of culturally curious minds.”
Frederic Alliod, CEO of the Alliance Française French Film Festival, shared that the 2024 festival has already seen a strong response with significant attendance and screenings that have sparked meaningful conversations and inspired audiences.
“We are thrilled to have Intrepid Travel as the Presenting Partner for the 2025 festival,” said Alliod. “This collaboration is a natural fit, as both AFFFF and Intrepid celebrate cultural exploration, meaningful storytelling, and the joy of discovery. Through cinema, we transport audiences to the heart of France, much like Intrepid takes travelers on journeys that foster deeper connections and richer experiences. We look forward to continuing this exciting partnership and bringing the magic of French cinema to even more film lovers in 2025.”
