Former annual French film award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lumière Award for Best French-Language Film (French: Prix Lumières du meilleur film francophone) is a discontinued award given by the Académie des Lumières from 2003 to 2019. It rewarded the best French-language film made outside France each year.

It was replaced in 2020 by the Lumière Award for Best International Co-Production.
