Premiere

It's not like the Festival du Film Français au Japon 2011 was going to settle for just any old party, is it? The official after-hours shindig is being held in the glitzier-than-thou confines of Xex Nihonbashi, with cocktails provided by Grand Marnier and local party promoters The Social and Black List on board. Not surprisingly, the DJ lineup features a few familiar faces from both group's events, including Beno & Cedric and Groove Patrol. The token guest slot is filled by France's DJ Quick, one of the main forces behind the Balkan beats craze that swept Europe's clubs a few years ago.
