This year's French Film Festival marks the 35th anniversary of the longest-run foreign film festival in Singapore. In collaboration with local distributors and partners, this year's edition will feature an exciting lineup comprising more than 25 recently released movies for everyone – whether it's Made in China and The Shiny Shrimps to romance movies like Someone Somewhere and Love at Second Sight. Fans of Luc Besson can also catch some of his timeless cult classic films such as Nikita, Leon, and The Fifth Element at the Projector.
For the uninitiated, the world of French art and culture can be intimidating. After all, Paris was the cultural capital of the Western world for much of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries – so it’s important to know your stuff.
If you don’t know where to start, the Voilah! French Singapore Festival aims to bridge the gap between French and Singaporean culture. Taking place from October 3 to November 17, the festival will showcase the multifaceted aspects of French culture around the island.
This year’s edition presents a curated selection of film screenings, art exhibitions, dance duets, and orchestra performances from France’s avant-gardes. Here are some you shouldn't miss.
