Festival description (Edition: 3)

Festival start: 14 February 2026 Festival end: 15 February 2026

The Festival Napoleon is held at one of Paris's most iconic movie theaters, the Cinéma Club de l'Étoile. Located at the corner of Champs Élysées Avenue, this movie theater is right at the corner of the Arc de Triomphe. The film submission aims to award filmmakers at the physical award ceremony in February 2026. All film types and languages are welcome. We will screen several of the selected films.

A press release listing all participants' names will be published on hundreds of websites. The winners will receive extensive press coverage.

Welcome, filmmakers, to the Festival Napoleon of Paris. We are excited about our fourth edition. The award ceremony will also honor prominent figures in the cultural world.

The Film Festival was created by David Serero, who has produced film festivals worldwide for over 10 years.

IMPORTANT: The Festival Napoleon is in partnership with the City of Paris.

Prizes and qualifications

Prix du Festival Napoleon - The Napoleon Festival Award

Several awards will be given to filmmakers.

Any submitters shall indemnify and hold harmless the Festival Napoleon from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees and costs of the court) which may be incurred by reason of any claim involving copyright, trademark, credits, publicity, screening, and loss of or damage to the screening videos.

All screenplays are welcomed, but we do encourage anything connected to History.

Festhome holds accountable fees festivals by holding the payment of the fees of most newer festivals until they have viewed the submissions, held their festivals and other methods.
