francOfilm festival 2016

For the 6th year in a row, Institut Français des Emirats arabes unis, the cultural Department of the French Embassy, together with Alliance Française in the UAE, and with the support of the Dubai International Film Festival, organizes the francOfilm festival 2016, both in Abu Dabi (at VOX Cinemas Marina Mall) and in Dubai (at VOX Cinemas Mall of the Emirates).

This francophone-film festival celebrates the French language within the broader framework of a month-long series of events entitled March is francophone. It offers a selection of some of the greatest films from France, Canada, Luxembourg, Belgium, Mauritania and Switzerland.

Please note that on March 5th, the MENA premiere of the movie Chocolat with the award winning actor Omar Sy will be screened at 7pm in VOX Cinemas Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi and VOX cinemas Mall of the Emirates in Dubai.

The 6th edition of the francOfilm festival 2016 will showcase selected short films directed by Emirati filmmakers. These films were previously screened at DIFF 2015.

All films are subtitled in English and some of them also in Arabic (such as Chocolat).
