Welcome to the 21st Cork French Film Festival
Our Cork French Film Festival lights up the screen for its 21st edition with captivating films you do not want to miss, packed with delights and discoveries.
Fuelled by the imagination of artists, the Cork French Film Festival has a passionate belief in the power of film to unite cultures and generations. Once again we are indebted to our curator Paul CALLANAN's exceptional capacity for exploring the best of French cinema. He has prepared an exciting weeklong programme that reveals the unpredictable vitality of the 7th Art, bringing you a selection of superb screenings, cine-concerts, educational programmes, master-classes, conferences, speakers and competitions.
We are pleased to welcome to our 21st Cork French Film Festival our guest star this year, the famed French actor Christophe LAMBERT, best known in these parts for his role as the Highlander. He will present his latest film Cartagena and the iconic 80's classic Subway, by Luc Besson. We are equally pleased to welcome the celebrated French screenwriter Guillaume LAURANT (Amelie), the fascinating traditional Irish Fiddle player Caoimhin O' RAGHALLAIGH and Marc COLLIN of French band Nouvelle Vague. We also celebrate the fascinating New Wave period of French cinema in the presence of New Wave actor Pierre-Henri DELEAU, founder of Director's Fortnight, Cannes.
We would like to express our deep gratitude to the Arts Council, French Embassy, Cork City Council, our main sponsor Bord Gais, all other sponsors, venues, volunteers and all who have helped to make this festival happen. Most of all, a sincere thanks to you, our loyal public, for supporting the Cork French Film Festival over 21 years!
Nous vous remercions amis cinephiles qui chaque annee nous renouvelez votre confiance!
Nora CALLANAN, Festival Director
