As the only UK festival devoted exclusively to contemporary and classic French cinema, the French Film Festival has in 30 years earned an unrivalled reputation as a showcase for contemporary French cinema in this country and abroad.
The Festival brings the best of Francophone cinema from France, Belgium and Quebec. Most of the 20 films presented here are previews screened here for the first time, some having their UK premieres at the London Film Festival in October, and others being released later in the UK.
Many of them had their world premieres in Cannes this year. We are also supporting three of the films with illustrated talks on French Crime Movies and Juliette Binoche. – Roger Gibson.
