With the aim of contributing to the spread of French cultural influence in Serbia by introducing local audiences to the latest French film productions, the Eighth French Film Festival will be held in six Serbian cities at the end of June and beginning of July.
As announced at a press conference at the Embassy of France in Serbia, following the opening film “Electric Kiss”, the programme – published in detail by date on the official website of the French Cultural Centre – also includes Vincent Maël Cardona’s “No-one Will Know”, Guillaume Nicloux’s “Mi Amor”, “The American Dream” by Antonio Marziano, “In a Whisper” by Leïla Boudjellal, “De la Comédie-Française” by the directing duo Martin Darondeau and Bertrand Iskal, which has not yet been released in France, the French hit “Hugo” directed by Pascal Bonitzer, “La Femme de” by David Roux, as well as Xavier Giannoli’s 199-minute film saga “The Rays and Shadows”, which will be shown on 26 June only at Kosančićev Venac in Belgrade.
The festival will take place in two phases: from 23 to 28 June it will be held at several outdoor locations in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš, after which Zrenjanin, Užice and Gornji Milanovac will join from 2 to 5 July.
As stated, the festival is set to open on 23 June at the Jevremovac Botanical Garden in Belgrade with this year’s film by French-Moroccan director Pierre Salvadori, “Electric Kiss”, which also officially opened the 79th Cannes Film Festival on 12 May.
