The Alliance Française de Melbourne Cultural Foundation fosters cultural exchange between France and Australia, supporting cultural activities that promote dialogue, understanding and participation across languages, generations and communities.
The Foundation advances French and Francophone culture in Australia through artistic, cultural initiatives creating a living space where literature, cinema, visual arts and creativity are shared.
A long‑standing and emblematic program, the Berthe Mouchette Competition encourages young people in Australia to engage deeply with poetry and literature.
As Australia’s largest celebration of French cinema, the Alliance Française French Film Festival is a cornerstone of contemporary cultural exchange.
Alliance Française de Melbourne Cultural Foundation regularly organises art events, openings, artists’ talks and exhibitions in
their cultural center.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which the Alliance Française de Melbourne is located, the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation, and we recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay respect to their elders, past, present and emerging.

Nous respectons leurs aînés, passés, présents et émergents.
