Plus ça change as the Alliance Française French Film Festival returns across Australia with a bold line-up of 35 feature films, screening in Sydney from March 5 to April 9, and nationally until April 21. The culturally curious will once again venture to the cinema and be seduced by a season of electrifying French storytelling, with a crème-de-la-crème program of contemporary French films hitting screens Down Under for the festival’s 35th edition.
Special screenings will range from the Australian premiere of Martin Bourboulon's adaptation of The Three Musketeers, to the lavish new drama Jeanne du Barry, featuring Johnny Depp and Maïwenn as intoxicating forbidden lovers. This year's festival will close with a special screening of Albert Dupontel's commentary on modern politics and media; Second Round.
Sydney francophiles can lap up all this and more as the festival returns to cinemas across Sydney; Chauvel Cinema, Hayden Orpheum, Palace Central, Palace Moore Park, Palace Norton Street and Roseville Cinemas.
Guests will also be in with a chance of winning a trip for two to New Caledonia thanks to New Caledonia Tourism – with a prize including two sets of return flight tickets to Noumea, plus five nights in a 4-star hotel.
