We’re delighted to welcome the French Film Festival UK for a selection of screenings featuring previews of some of the finest new French cinema from some of the country’s most exciting filmmaking talent both in front of and behind the camera.

Join us for Cédric Kahn’s drama Happy Birthday starring Catherine Deneuve; film noir, Oh Mercy! from Arnaud Desplechin; Belgium’s Dardenne brothers’ exploration of a troubled teen in Young Ahmed; and one of the hits from this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Celine Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
