French Film Festival 2016 kicks off at the IFI Dublin
It's all kicking off with a glitzy screening of Justine Triet's In Bed With Victoria followed by a gala reception at the IFI. Other major movies include Xavier Dolan's It's Only the End of the World (which won a Cannes jury prize this year) and The Unknown Girl from the Darnennes Brothers.
26 films will screen in total including a number of classic titles and plenty of guests will also be along to present their films. Writing-directing team Dominik Moll and Gilles Marchand will present two new films: News from Planet Mars and Into the Forest, co-directors Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern will present popular comedy Saint Amour starring Gérard Depardieu; actress Lola Créton and director Dominique Cabrera will be in Dublin for the Irish premiere of Corniche Kennedy, while director Sébastian Betbeder will also present two new films, Marie and the Misfits and Journey to Greenland.
