Our next event is only getting better,

We are very excited to tell you that we will have a special guest coming to the 2026 New Caledonian Film festival!

We are very lucky to have Passil Swamo, Co-founder of Osso Pacific () coming to present the URBAN FILMS FESTIVAL Pacific 2026.

The Urban Films Festival focus on promoting urban life under all the different forms of arts.
It showcases people from across the world outlining the differences between communities' ways of using the spaces.
All sharing the same enthusiasm for community spirit, sharing knowledge, time and experiences as well as listening and learning other people's ways.

The festival celebrates its 10th anniversary and it is a real chance to have Passil with us for this event.

We wanted to specifically thank Florence Boulard who introduced Passil to us and who is always here to help the Alliance Francaise of Townsville.

Super nouvelle pour notre prochain événement!

Nous sommes super excités de vous annoncer que nous allons avoir un invité spéciale lors du New Caledonian Film Festival!

Nous sommes très chanceux d’avoir Passil Swamo, cofondateur d’Osso Pacific, qui viendra nous présenter l’Urban Films Festival Pacific 2026.

L’Urban Films Festival promeut la vie urbaine sous toutes les différentes formes d’art.
Il représente des personnes à travers le monde et met en valeur les différences que chaque communauté ont dans leurs manières d’occuper l’espace urbain selon leur spécificité.
Tous les acteurs de ce festival partagent le même enthousiasme pour l’esprit d'entraide, le partage du savoir, du temps et des expériences, tout en s'écoutant et en apprenant les uns des autres.

Le festival célèbre ses 10 ans et c’est une vraie chance de pouvoir compter Passil parmis nous pendant le New Caledonian Film Festival

Nous voulions aussi remercier tout particulièrement Florence Boulard qui nous a présenté Passil et qui est toujours là pour aider l’Alliance Française de Townsville.
