L'Etrange Festival is an annual film festival hosted in Paris, France, taking place every September. It is known as one of France's leading platforms for showcasing bold and inventive genre cinema. The festival features an international competition section, with past editions screening notable Korean films such as "Exhuma" (2024), "Concrete Utopia" (2023), and "The Spy Gone North" (2018).

At its 32nd iteration, the festival's Nouveau Genre Grand Prize in the international competition section was awarded to director Park Hoon-jung for his action noir film "Tristes Tropiques."
