Unifrance is a partner of the Prix Palatine, the first and only bi-national film prize awarded by high school students in Italy and France. A mirror image of each other, the selection offers French and Italian high school students three films from the opposite country, which they can discover over the next six months in a double series of itinerant screenings. A jury of high school students will vote for their favorite Italian or French film in May.
This 2025 edition should double its audience, bringing together 2,000 high-school students for 50 screenings of the six selected films, in 25 towns and a network of 16 partner cinemas.
