With many UK premieres, the selection showcases the variety of voices, forms and budgets that altogether represent the wealth and diversity of French cinema production.
From comedies to documentaries, from personal stories to social dramas and thrillers, many try to reflect on the present and the complex world we live in. With a particularly strong trend of French films with or by international actors and directors, French cinema in 2025 continues expanding beyond its borders while keeping its strength at home.
The small selection of restored films pays tribute to the late master documentary filmmaker Marcel Ophüls and to the great Isabelle Adjani who turned 70 this year.
