In the United States and Canada, in addition to its own platform, “My French Film Festival” will be available on Eurocinema, an on-demand television channel available in 30 million homes through major cable operators such as Comcast, Cablevision, Charter, Verizon and DirecTV.  On the web, the festival will also be available on Vudu, one of the leading video-streaming services in the US.  Of note, iTunes, for the first time in its history, has signed on as a worldwide partner.
