Porriez Vous me dire Le French Film Festival?
12 Mar 2004 :

A week of celebrating French film begins with the launch of the 15th annual Cork French Film Festival at the Alliance Francaise and Triskal Arts Centre in Cork.

Francis Veber’s farcical comedy ‘Tais Toi!’ will open the festival with its Irish premiere on the 15th of March. The film stars Jean Reno as a brooding outlaw and Gerard Depardieu, one of Veber's favourite actors, as a dim-witted and garrulous giant who befriends him in jail after botching up his escape. The gala affair at the Alliance will be attended by invited guests who support the festival as well as John Kennedy director of Cork 2005:European Capital of Culture, Robin O Sullivan President of Cork Chamber of Commerce and the French Consulate Ms. Francoise Le Tellier.

Festival coordinator Gwen Legros says the festival has been organised “to promote French Film as well as promoting French culture and Francophone (French speaking people outside of France) in Ireland”. The films included in the festival have been selected to appeal to a wide spectrum of audience ages and tastes. There are films like Alain Chabats ‘Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra’ and Maurice Pialats ‘Van Gough’ that are educational for the younger ones keen to brush up on their French vocab. Films with a more adult themes like Nabil Ayouch’s ‘Ali Zaoua:Prince of the Streets’ and for the older generation classic films like Jean-Pierre Melville’s ‘Le Cercle Rouge’ and Jacques Tati’s ‘Playtime’ are on offer.

The festival is organised by the Triskal Arts Centre and the Alliance Française de Cork, it will run from the 15th – 28th of March in the Triskal Arts Centre.
