As a cinephile with a penchant for international cinema, particularly French films, I am positively thrilled about the return of the American French Film Festival! With 28 years under its belt, this event has consistently introduced me to some of the most captivating and thought-provoking narratives from across the pond.
The 28th annual American French Film Festival is coming back to the DGA Theater Complex, running from October 29 to November 3. This year’s event will feature 60 films and series, which includes 14 short films and 14 series or TV movies. The festival will kick off with “Emilia Pérez,” France’s pick for Oscar consideration, and wrap up with the latest adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Petelliére.
For the first time ever, sixteen of these features are set to debut before a Hollywood audience, following their initial showings at the most recent Berlin, Cannes, and Venice International Film Festivals. Moreover, fifty-nine of the chosen works will be contenders for the TAFFF Awards.
The lineup of movies features a variety, including the comedy “A Nice Jewish Boy,” helmed by director Noé Debré, penned by Michael Zindel, Agnès Jaoui, and Solar Bouloudnine; the political thriller “Death of a Corrupt Man,” masterminded by Georges Lautner and scripted by Lautner, Michel Audiard, and Claude Sautet; the drama “Rabia,” crafted by Mareike Engelhardt; the coming-of-age drama “Wild Diamond,” created by Agathe Riedinger, and numerous others.
As a film enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of cinematic artistry, I am always eager to discover new and exciting short films that push the boundaries of storytelling and artistic expression. The upcoming selection of short films includes a diverse array of genres, from the deeply emotional animated drama “A Stand Still Journey” by Izù Troin, to the poignant coming-of-age drama “Changing Room” directed by Violette Vuitton, the humorous and relatable comedy “See You Soon” penned and helmed by Julia Renault, and the chilling horror “Cult,” written and directed by David Padilla. Each of these films promises to offer a unique and compelling viewing experience that I eagerly anticipate exploring. Whether you’re a seasoned filmgoer or new to the world of cinema, this selection has something for everyone and is not to be missed!
