This October, the theme “French Animation” celebrates the distinctive visual worlds, imaginative storytelling, and creative freedom that have made French animation so compelling.

From the eccentric, jazz-infused world of Les Triplettes de Belleville where a grandmother embarks on a surreal journey to rescue her kidnapped grandson, to the neon-lit, dystopian future of Mars Express, where a private detective uncovers a mystery at the intersection of humanity and artificial intelligence, these films reveal the remarkable range of French animation.

Two very different visions, connected by a shared spirit of bold design, inventive storytelling, and worlds that stretch far beyond the familiar. Together, they invite us to see animation not simply as a genre, but as a limitless cinematic language.

This September, the theme “Echoes of War” explores how cinema shapes our understanding of war, memory, and history. Through three very different perspectives on the Second World War and its aftermath, these films question how the past is remembered, reconstructed, and carried into the present. Aside from this, the films highlight the patriotism of those who fought, died, and carried on the stories of the conflict.

From the trauma of 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗿, to the reconstruction of the Battle of Okinawa in 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 and a film based on the true story of 𝗢𝗻𝗼𝗱𝗮’𝘀 decades-long refusal to accept the end of the war, set in the Philippines. Each film offers a different perspective on the lasting legacy of the World War.

From the extraordinary musical journey in Monsieur Aznavour, to the fight for independence in Nome, and the final years of a legendary painter in Van Gogh, each film offers a unique portrait of individuals driven by passion, resilience, and the pursuit of purpose.

🎭 Synopsis

Set in 1949 France, Les Choristes follows Clément Mathieu, a kind-hearted but disillusioned music teacher who takes a job supervising a boarding school for troubled boys. The school is ruled with an iron fist, but Mathieu introduces a different approach — forming a choir that changes the boys’ lives forever. Through music, hope is reborn in a place of despair.

This touching story about redemption, resilience, and the transformative power of music captured hearts worldwide and was nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Foreign Language Film. The soundtrack, featuring the famous song “Vois sur ton chemin”, remains iconic to this day.
