With festival highlights including the opening night film Masquerade (Mascarade) and the Australian premiere of Two Tickets to Greece (Les Cyclades), The Colours of Fire (Couleurs de l’Incendie) and Maria Into Life (Maria Rêve), The Alliance Francaise Film Festival is the perfect outing for cinephiles and francophiles alike.

“2023 represents our most dynamic programme to date,” says Karine Mauris, Festival Artistic Director and Cultural Attachée to the French Embassy in Australia. “The hilarity of a meta-zombie comedy, suspenseful thrillers and historical dramas that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat, family-friendly flicks and of course, l’amour in all its forms!”

“Culture is the beating heart of French society. Over the past century, French Cinema has not only captured major and minor events and documented changes in political, social and daily life,” says returning ambassador and renowned actor, David Wenham AM.

“It has been a major influence on how the rest of the world approaches making films and telling stories in a continuing journey to understand who we are and what we do. French cinema, for me, is always alive!”

Tickets are available to purchase from February 9. For more information and tickets, head here.
