During the 29th Opening Night Ceremony of The American French film festival, Academy Awards winner Jodie Foster<\/strong>, whose film\u00a0A Private Life<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0was the Festival\u2019s Opening Night curtain raiser, accepted the TAFFF Achievement Award from FACF President and Sacem CEO Cecile Rap-Veber.\u00a0TAFFF Achievement Award was created by the Franco-American Cultural Fund in 2024 to honor a filmmaker or an actor whose work has been celebrated in both France and the United States.<\/p>\n

Multi-award-winning actor-turned-director\u00a0Jodie Foster<\/strong>\u00a0famously began her career in a Coppertone commercial at the age of three. That led to appearances in some 50 television shows, a string of early-seventies Disney films, and Martin Scorsese’s\u00a0Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore\u00a0(1974). However, it was her bravado performance as a 12-year-old prostitute in Scorsese’s\u00a0Taxi Driver\u00a0(1976) that catapulted her to international stardom and earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She has now appeared in 83 films and TV series, and has earned two Academy Awards for Best Actress, for her stunning work in Jonathan Kaplan’s\u00a0The Accused\u00a0(1988) and Jonathan Demme’s\u00a0The Silence of the Lambs\u00a0(1991). She has been honored with three BAFTA Awards, four Golden Globes, a Primetime Emmy, the 2013 Cecile B. DeMille Award and a 2021 Honorary Palme d’Or in Cannes. Foster made her feature directorial debut with\u00a0Little Man Tate\u00a0(1991), which was followed by\u00a0Home for the Holidays\u00a0(1995),\u00a0The Beaver\u00a0(2011) and\u00a0Money Monster\u00a0(2016). She founded her production company, Egg Pictures, in 1992, and was most recently seen in HBO’s\u00a0True Detective: Night Country\u00a0(2024). A graduate of the Lvc\u00e9e Fran\u00e7ais de Los Angeles, Foster has been fluent in French since childhood, which has enabled her to dub herself in French releases of most of her English-language films and, of course, to be cast in the starring role in Rebecca Zlotowski’s\u00a0A Private Life<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/tafff2025_selects_day1_134-2-1.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” css=”” accent_color=”#004EEF”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
