The festival, which was first launched in 2000 and has since then been established as a major spring cinema event in Athens - is once again collaborating with the Thessaloniki International Film Festival and the Athens International Film Festival, aka Premiere Nights, in a number of screenings.
It also presents films from Be There! Corfu Animation Festival, a tribute to Bouquet, an interactive cinema game for all ages at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, a section on groundbreaking animation films, as well as films by students of New School Athens.
Organizers will be hosting distinguished guests, screening many new releases as well as presening customary parallel events. The festival is organized by the French Institute, and besides French productions, it also includes entries from Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, Morocco and Romania.
Films will be screened in French with Greek subtitles. The Festival is taking place in Athens on April 4-10 and in Thessaloniki on April 11-17. For more information on the festival and parallel events, visit www.ifa.gr and www.festivalfilmfrancophone.gr.
