A Sky-High Affair: Air Tahiti Nui Brings French Cinema to the Stars at the American French Film Festival

Air Tahiti Nui is giving French-language films its cinematic entrance and stepping into the cultural spotlight as one of the official sponsors of the American French Film Festival, hosted at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) in West Hollywood.

Setting the Scene

The American French Film Festival has long been a premier showcase of French cinema in the United States. It’s where Paris meets Los Angeles, and Hollywood finds its official joie de vivre.

Air Tahiti Nui joins an elite lineup of sponsors, infusing the event with a dose of island elegance and trans-Pacific sophistication. The partnership represents a meeting of two French passions — cinema and travel.

The airline, whose signature blue aircraft carries travelers from LA to Paris, Papeete in Tahiti, and other far-flung adventures across the globe (including New Zealand and Japan), adds an extra layer of aspirational escapism to the French film festival.

Networking at Altitude

With the festival attracting filmmakers, producers, critics along with French cinephiles, Air Tahiti Nui’s involvement helps position it as not just screenings, but access — to VIP flights, lounges, and trans-Pacific creative collisions.

With a subtle nod to both French artistry and Polynesian serenity, guests enjoyed an outdoor lounge with bites from LA fave Monsieur Marcel, caramels from Le Bon Garcon and pops of bubbly.
