Eye For Film >> Festivals >> A-Z >> French Film Festival >> 2008
This annual celebration of films from the other side of the Channel is now in its 16th year - and this year expands its touring schedule to visit Cardiff, Warwick, Birmingham and Inverness, as well as its regular venues.
This year's event comprises: Panorama (films by established directors) and Discovery (titles by upcoming film-makers). Retro, rather than focusing on a particular actor or director, this year jumps in ahead of May's 40th anniversary of the revolutionary zeal of '68 by providing an opportunity to revisit a classic offering from Louis Malle in tandem with a rare documentary filmed at the time.
Although the majority of films in the programme do not have a British distributor (and therefore the public's only chance to see them is in the festival) a special Preview section has also been created to showcase French films that will be on release over the next few months.
