French Stars Alexis Manenti and Ladj Ly Inaugurate the 6th French Film Festival
The sixth edition of the French Film Festival was officially opened last night in Belgrade at Kosančićev Venac with the screening of the film Les Misérables, attended by director Ladj Ly and lead actor Alexis Manenti. This year’s festival patron is the renowned actor and director Dragan Bjelogrlić.
The French Film Festival, showcasing the latest achievements in French cinema, will run until 23rd June. In addition to Belgrade, audiences in Novi Sad, Niš, and Zrenjanin will also have the opportunity to enjoy the films. Belgrade has added a new venue for screenings this year, the Belgrade Garden in Zvezdara, a park fondly remembered by locals as the site of an open-air cinema. Other traditional locations include Kosančićev Venac, Silos, the Plateau between the two towers at Ušće, and the MTS Hall.
As with previous editions, this year’s festival features several films from the Cannes Film Festival selection. In anticipation of the Olympic Games in France, the festival will also include films on the theme of sports, paying homage to this global sporting event.
Traditionally, the French Film Festival is supported by Mlekoprodukt, part of the Savencia Fromage & Dairy group, which enhanced the festive atmosphere with a tasting of authentic Ile de France French cheeses.
Mlekoprodukt’s participation in this significant cultural event celebrating French film art is a testament to their commitment to social responsibility principles through active support of culture and international artistic collaboration.
