FILMS | Spotlight on France

This ongoing series highlights the fertile cinematic culture that is still very much alive and well in France, owing to its rich heritage in cinematographic art. Since 1997 the series has been presenting about 10 to 12 films each year, including both indigenous productions and co-productions with other countries. It aims to reflect the range and diversity of talents, new and old, working in the country today. Within the series, we aim to achieve a balance by programming films dealing with a variety of subject matter and genres, portraying different regional representations, and showcasing the works of both veteran and neophyte filmmakers.

VIFF acknowledges the support of the Consulate General of France in Vancouver and Radio Canada in presenting the Spotlight on France.
