UK French Film Festival
Friday (7 March) sees the beginning of a two week long French film festival in select cities in the UK. I would go along, but unfortunately there isn’t a venue near where I live. The venues include Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Birmingham, Manchester & London. If you’re in easy reach of any of these places then make sure you go along!
Visit the website to find out more.
For those of you who live near where I do, which is on the south coast between Chichester & Portsmouth, the Chichester Cinema at New Park often shows French films and will be showing the award winning ‘La Vie en Rose’ from 29 April - 1 May, so I must try and see it. Again, you can find out more on their website. Other upcoming French films include The Singer (Quand J’Etais Chanteur) with Gérard Depardieu.
Just to let you know you needn’t feel too disappointed about not living near one of the venues of the ‘French film festival’.
There is apparently no web site for this ‘festival’ with information as to what’s on when. The local cinema near me supposedly hosting it (Cineworld Birmingham) lists no French films on this weekend. And that’s in the middle of the dates for this alleged French Film festival.

Hello Richard
Thanks for your comment - that’s quite surprising isn’t it, it doesn’t look like I’m missing out on much after all. Perhaps I should just stick to my local arts cinema for French films!
