Say bonjour to cinema at the Alliance Francaise’s French Film Festival, currently showing at Palace Nova Eastend and Prospect cinemas.

A curated selection of 42 films has been chosen for this year’s festival, with recurring themes of courage, generosity, equality and team spirit.

The lineup includes Lost Illusions by Xavier Giannoli, the story of Lucien de Rubempré, a young, lower-class poet, madly in love with the baroness Louise de Bargeton; The Velvet Queen, a documentary by Marie Amiguet about the snow leopards of the Tibetan highlands; La Traviata, My Brothers and I, about hope, chance and overcoming adversity; and romantic comedy Hear Me Out.

Grab you tickets and pop some corn for an evening of French festival splendour.
