The IFI French Film Festival, the IFI’s flagship festival now in its 25th year, returns from Wednesday, November 13th to Sunday, November 24th, once again bringing the very best of new French cinema to IFI audiences. Renowned director Stéphane Brizé will present his new romantic drama, Out of Season, with an audience Q&A, and will delve into his career in a masterclass event hosted by Paul Whitington. Highlights in the programme include Being Maria, which explores Maria Schneider’s experience making Bertolucci’s controversial Last Tango in Paris with Maron Brando (played here by Matt Dillon); the thrilling and surprising The Successor, from Xavier Legrand, director of Custody; and the topical and deeply moving Souleymane’s Story. Keep an eye out too for the restored Agnes Varda shorts that will screen before several features throughout the festival.
