A tout les Cinephiles! The 25th IFI French Film Festival returns to the Irish Film Institute, Eustace Street, Dublin from Wednesday, November 13th to Sunday, November 24th, 2024.
Enjoy 12 glorious days and nights of the very best in French cinema, from premieres to cult classics, documentaries and shorts, workshops, masterclasses, talks, family events and so much more.
Highlights in the programme include Out of Season, the new romantic drama from renowned director Stéphane Brizé, who will make the trip to Dublin to host a post screening audience Q&A; Being Maria, which explores Maria Schneider’s experience making Bertolucci’s controversial Last Tango in Paris with Marlon Brando; the thrilling and surprising The Successor, from Xavier Legrand, director of Custody; and the topical and deeply moving Souleymane’s Story. Keep an eye out too for a series of restored Agnes Varda shorts that will screen before several features throughout the festival.
Festivalgoers can rendezvous at the IFI Café-Bar on Eustace Street and enjoy a delicious French inspired prix fixe menu for the duration of the celebrations. Delectable dishes include Bisque de Crevettes, Moules Marinière, Magret De Canard, Boeuf Bourguignon and Crème Brûlée.
