Alliance Francaise Classic Film Festival
Celebrate the career of one of France's most iconic screen stars.
Overview
Journey back to the golden age of French cinema at the inaugural edition of the Alliance Francaise Classic Film Festival. Held over four days at Event Cinemas in George Street and Hayden Orpheum in Cremorne, this fledgling festival will showcase half a dozen iconic titles from the oeuvre of legendary screen actress Catherine Deneuve, whose poise and versatility have made her a staple of France's film industry for more than 50 years.
Working chronologically, the program begins with a pair of 1960s musicals in the form of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The Young Girls of Rochefort, the latter of which will open the festival on Thursday, September 3. Also from this period comes Luis Bunuel's sexually provocative Belle de Jour and Jean-Pierre Melville's A Cop. Jumping forward a few decades, historical epic Indochina earned Deneuve a Best Actress nomination at the 1992 Academy Awards, while 2010's ensemble comedy Potiche shows how talented she remains even after all this time.
