The Lumières Award for Best International Co-Production (French: Prix Lumières de la meilleure coproduction internationale) is an award given to an international co-production financed by a French company and released in France in the previous year. It has been presented annually by the Académie des Lumières since 2020.[1] It replaced the Lumières Award for Best French-Language Film that was awarded from 2003 to 2019 to a French-language film made outside France.
The award is given to a film co-produced with a French contribution of at least 30% percent. It was established by the Académie des Lumières to salute the international presence of France and of French producers who make cinema possible in all parts of the world.[2]
