Since the beginning, this event has been an interdisciplinary collaboration among UNA faculty from various departments, including Foreign Languages, English, History, Sociology and Family Studies, Communications, Music, Cinematic
Arts, and Visual Arts and Design. This year, the event sponsors also include the Mitchell-West Center for Social Inclusion and the UNA School of the Arts.”
The Tournées Film Festival is made possible with the support of the Cultural Services of the
French Embassy in the United States, the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée (CNC), the French American Cultural Fund, the Florence Gould Foundation, and Highbrow Entertainment.
