fff

Roll up, roll up, the Festival du Film Français (FFF) 2011, is about to begin. This is very good news. It's the time of year when we get to go to the cinema and watch really good (and many recent) French films, almost every day, in French. Now in its 19th year, FFF 2011 is a UK-wide French festival running from 9 November - 7 December and takes place in cinemas including Filmhouse, Edinburgh; Ciné Lumière, London, and Glasgow Film Theatre. Edinburgh's independent Filmhouse cinema, has been going for almost 30 years and offers a terrific variety of international films and is in its own words 'celebrating world cinema in all its brilliance and diversity'. It often has at least one French film as part of its monthly offerings, but the FFF happens once a year and is a rare treat for us, with an almost month-long programme of films. On offer this year will be a selection of French language films from France, Québec, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Belgium, and include previews, shorts, animation, and a quartet of Claude Chabrol films showing at the French Institute in Edinburgh.

Allez-y!
