Afrique sur Bièvre is a nonprofit organization founded in 2007 in Cachan, France by African cinema fans. Afrique sur Bièvre is  dedicated to providing exposure for  African cinematographers through an annual festival: “Ciné Regards Africains”. During the festival, film screenings are followed by debates with journalists, critics and film directors. Ciné Regards Africains draws more than 700 public attendees and roughly 1,000 students from elementary though high school. Spectators appreciate the variety of African countries represented in the films and most are very fond of the short films selected for the Audience Prize.

Thanks to the McMillan Stewart Foundation advised gift, Afrique sur Bièvre can award an audience prize and bring the film directors to France for the festival, each year.
