French Film Festival flies to Cebu


After its run in Manila back in November/December last year, the French Film Festival makes its way to Cebu, screening a handful of gems of French cinema this February 29-March 3, 2024 at the SM City Cebu.

Presented by the Embassy of France to the Philippines, the Alliance française de Cebu, in cooperation with SM Supermalls, the festival brings a selection of seven films catering to every taste.


Leading the lineup is Les Choses qu'on dit, les choses qu'on fait, a romantic comedy that shows how relationships can be complicated sometimes.


Supremes, a dance film, offers a glimpse of the French urban/hiphop dance scene.


Le dernier métro and Les parapluies de Cherbourg can satisfy the cravings of cinephiles yearning for classic films.


Meanwhile, Goliath is a drama that tackles serious environmental issues.


Lastly, Les deux Alfred, can tickle the funny bones with comedic situations at a tech start up.

French Ambassador Her Excellency Marie Fontanel believes that the young vibrant population of the Philippines should be exposed to the diversity of cultures, and "through cinema, the Filipino youth can have the chance to see a different perspective in life beyond the regular programming of theaters."

In the words of French President Emmanuel Macron: "The French spirit continues to astonish, fascinate and change the world."


French cinema entertains the audience with the unexpected twists and turns, and delivers messages that can help build a better world. The French Film Festival in Cebu is making it iconic.

Here is the screening schedule of the French Film Festival in Cebu.
