The IFI French Film Festival, the IFI's flagship festival now in its 25th year, returns from Wednesday, November 13th to Sunday, November 24th, once again bringing the very best of new French cinema to IFI audiences. Renowned director Stéphane Brizé will present his new romantic drama, Out of Season, with an audience Q&A, and will delve into his career in a masterclass event hosted by Paul Whitington. Highlights in the programme include Being Maria, which explores Maria Schneider’s experience making Bertolucci’s controversial Last Tango in Paris with Marlon Brando (played here by Matt Dillon); 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 the restored Agnes Varda shorts that will screen before several features throughout the festival.
The IFI would like to pay special thanks to DS Automobiles who are partnering with the Festival for the third year. We would also like to thank the French Embassy in Ireland, as our lead Cultural Partner, for their continued support and involvement. Film is an integral part of cooperation and our cultural relationship.
The IFI French Film Festival is supported by The Irish Times, RTÉ Supporting the Arts, Alliance Française Dublin, Europa Cinemas, UniFrance, Institut Français, the Embassy of Canada in Ireland, and Air Canada.
IFI is principally funded by the Arts Council.
