The Sacramento French Film Festival strives to have its “finger on the pulse” of French cinema, and in this spirit, our 2024 poster is a tribute to French actress Judith Godrèche, whose recent, powerful testimony and rape accusations against acclaimed directors Jacques Doillon and Benoit Jacquot have revived the #MeToo movement in France, encouraged other victims to speak out, and shaken up not only the French film industry but French society as a whole.

We are honored to present Judith Godrèche's short film Moi Aussi, in its U.S. Premiere, a month after it premiered in Cannes.

In her compelling speech at the 2024 César awards ceremony, Judith Godrèche said “I am a crowd!” For her short film, Moi Aussi (Me Too), she literally gathered a crowd of sexual abuse victims at dawn – the dawn of a new day – who stand together in a Parisian street. In the middle of these anonymous faces, a young girl (Tess Barthélemy, Godrèche's daughter) dances.
