Cinéfranco is an annual film festival in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which presents a weeklong program of both Canadian and international French language films.〔("Cinefranco focuses on francophone films" ). ''Toronto Star'', March 27, 2014.〕 The festival was established in 1997 by Marcelle Lean,〔"Film fest to bring French movies out of obscurity: February's cinefranco is the brainchild of its well-connected executive director". ''The Globe and Mail'', January 21, 1998.〕 a former chair of the Ontario Film Development Corporation,〔"OFDC chair appointed". ''The Globe and Mail'', February 9, 1998.〕 and was staged for the first time in February 1998.〔"Festival opens a door to French film". ''The Globe and Mail'', February 27, 1998.〕 Lean remains the event's executive director as of 2015. Unlike larger events such as the Toronto International Film Festival, all films throughout the week are screened in a single theatre venue.〔"Bringing more than l'amour to the English". ''Toronto Star'', March 26, 2010.〕 To establish broader audience appeal beyond the city's francophone community alone, all films are screened with English language subtitles.〔"Screening the real French cinema ; Second annual Cinefranco festival celebrates popular francophone film". ''Toronto Star'', February 18, 1999.〕 Separately from the main festival, an annual youth program of films for children and teenagers is also staged.〔 The separate youth program was launched for the first time in 2007. The festival presents an annual award, the Radio-Canada Audience Award, to the film voted by festival attendees as the best film in that year's program.〔"Cinefranco wraps with awards to Paris, Pilon". ''The Globe and Mail'', April 9, 2009.〕 TFO also formerly sponsored an award for the most popular film in the youth program. In 2015, Lean told ''L'Express de Toronto'' that the festival was in financial trouble and may be forced to cease operations if it cannot renegotiate its current operational support agreement with Hot Docs.〔("Cinéfranco pourrait disparaître" ).
