As a real gathering place for French-speaking artists, today's French-speaking movies reflect the exchanges that constitute the core of French-speaking countries! The 2023 edition of the French Film Festival highlights these films across different cultures, as well as the cooperation between artists from different countries - always using various forms of French as the source of sharing language and inspiration. From the language of Balzac to the verb of NTM, from the comedy of Quebec and Canada to the Tunisian thriller, through the Romanian animation and documentary, don’t forget the stories at the crossroads of Switzerland, Belgium and France, and find those who display today's French in China! Come and enjoy the wonderful performances of francophone artists!
