Returning for its 18th edition, the French Film Festival Aotearoa is back this winter with a fantastic selection of films.
From epic two-part saga The Three Musketeers I – D’Artagnan and The Three Musketeers II – Milady based on Alexandre Dumas’s thrilling beloved classic novel, to stand-out period piece Rosalie, starring Benoît Magimel, and Cannes Film Festival main prize winner The Taste of Things starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp’s first French-language speaking role in Jeanne du Barry, this year’s festival has a record number of Festival de Cannes favourites in its programme.
Festival Director Fergus Grady was excited to add Whanganui, Blenheim, and Rangiora to this year’s festival circuit, as he planned to grow the festival further into regional New Zealand in the coming years.
The festival will take place from the 29th of May to the 3rd of July. Tickets are on sale now!
Whether you are in the mood for a comedy, thriller, biopic, drama or even a family-friendly flick, French Film Festival Aotearoa has a little something for everyone.
