The UWM French Program thanks the FACE Foundation and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy for the Tournées Film Festival grant, and is grateful for the generosity of Dr. Richard Stone and the continued support of the Québec Government Office in Chicago. We are also grateful for the sponsorship of 3 films in 2019 in memory of Nicole Darmon Chandler, a resident of Milwaukee for over 40 years, and a former president of the Alliance Française. Nicole participated in French language activities at UWM for decades. We thank our many UWM co-sponsors, past and present: the College of Letters and Sciences, UWM Humanities, Student Involvement, the Sam & Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies, the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies, the Community Media Project, the Department of Film, Video, Animation and New Genres, the Middle Eastern North African Studies Certificate Program, the Institute of World Affairs, the Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival, the Department of Dance, the Department of Africology, the MA in Language, Literature and Translation Program (MALLT), the German Program, and the Department of French, Italian & Comparative Literature. We greatly appreciate the community sponsorship of the Alliance Française of Milwaukee, the Milwaukee French Immersion School, and SWAAF (Southeast Wisconsin Academic Alliance in French). We extend a special note of gratitude to the co-founders of the festival Professor Martine Meyer (1929-2013) and Professor Emerita Gabrielle Verdier for their vision in establishing the UWM Festival of Films in French.
We are seeking additional sponsors. If you’re interested in sponsoring the UWM Festival of Films in French, please see our sponsorship page.
