Irish Film Institute As part of the IFI French Film Festival, tonight's screening of Round Da Way (20.30), the film of the hugely popular adult TV animation Les Lascars, will be introduced by two special guests: Rapper-Comedian IZM, who voices the character Joe, and the hugely influential French Hip-Hop artist Lucien Revolucien who created... the film’s score. The screening will be followed by a French Hip-Hop Club Night with some Round Da Way inspired tunes, courtesy of DJ EZO (IFI Bar from 22.00). Regular cinema admission applies for the screening of Round Da Way, but entry to the club night is free. Book tickets here...

Round Da Way was described by Variety as Beavis and Butthead meets La Haine and it’s as accurate a description for this riotous animation as any (though the influence of stoner antiheroes Cheech and Chong is in evidence too). ...

From director Rémi Bezançon, the classic French family drama gets a modern reboot in this unstoppably entertaining saga of life, love, death, pop music and an ongoing battle to cut down on the ciggies. Watch the trailer here...
Irish Film Institute It's the last weekend of the IFI French Film Festival - 12 screenings still to come over the last 3 days.

Irish Film Institute Séraphine, Martin Provost’s utterly beguiling film about Séraphine de Senlis, a humble cleaning lady with the artistic gifts of a Van Gogh begins tomorrow (14.00 and 18.25) and runs until Thursday 10 December. The film won the best film gong at the 2009 César Awards (the French Oscars) and you can view the trailer right here ...

Irish Film Institute
The IFI French Film Festival returns with a programme packed full of Gallic romance, French Hip-Hop, Cannes prize winners, a Tati retrospective, Micmacs - the new film from Jean-Pierre Jeunet and much, much more
19th-29th November 2009
The IFI French Film Festival, the IFI’s annual celebration of Gallic cinema and a key... date in Dublin’s film calendar, is perfectly timed to restore Franco-Irish relations in the aftermath of the World Cup playoffs. This year’s programme is packed with sneak previews of major new releases, fantastic revivals and a host of new French films that won’t be shown anywhere else.
The IFI is particularly delighted to have secured the festival’s Opening Film, Micmacs; a film so inventive, visually distinctive and utterly charming that it could only have come from Jean-Pierre Jeunet, director of Delicatessen and Amélie. This major upcoming release follows the comedy-satire story of Bazil in his madcap plans to take down two local arms dealers. The film won’t be in cinemas until early 2010 - so don’t miss this opportunity to get a sneak preview.
IFI audiences will also get a first look at the award-winning performance of Yolande Moreau (who you’ll also spot in Micmacs) in the incredible biopic Séraphine. This stunning portrayal of the rise and fall of the naïve painter Séraphine Louis won an astonishing seven César Awards in 2008 including Best Film and Best Actress.
For many the highlight of this year’s Cannes Film Festival was the winner of the Grand Prix - A Prophet directed by Jacques Audiard (The Beat My Heart Skipped). This stunning piece of filmmaking is, without doubt, the finest crime drama of the year featuring Tahar Rahim as Malik, an illiterate petty criminal rising up through the ranks of Corsican gangs in prison – a must see in this year’s festival.
Two special events confound preconceptions about French cinema; The Horde (presented in association with Horrorthon) is a cop movie that morphs in to a low-budget Zombie horror - a genre that is undergoing a renaissance in France, and Round Da Way is a streetwise animation that has been described as Beavis and Butthead meets La Haine and will be followed by a special French Hip-Hop Club Night in the IFI Bar.
The IFI will be taking a retrospective look at the work of comedy genius Jacques Tati, with a 70mm screening of PlayTime, a programme of short films, and restored version of Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday, a fascinating new documentary looking at his life and career and a talk from UCD expert Laurent Marie. Another look at the work of an iconic French filmmaker is provided by the new documentary on an unfinished classic, Henri-George Clouzot’s Inferno.
If all this wasn’t enough we’ll also have Irish premieres of work from Claude Chabrol, André Téchiné, Christophe Honoré and Benoît Jacquot to name but a few. And if some of those names ring a few bells you’ll certainly be interested in the first ever French Film Quiz and the launch of the IFI French Film Club at the screening of Bellamy (featuring Gérard Depardieu) on the 23rd Nov. The club will see special screenings and events taking place throughout the year – so watch this space.
The Closing Film, Around a Small Mountain, by Jacques Rivette is a light, humourous and effecting story of Kate’s (Jane Birkin) return to her late father’s circus. The French New Wave is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and this screening is a wonderful opportunity to see the new work of Rivette; one of La Nouvelle Vague’s leading figures.
Tickets are available from the IFI Box Office in person, by telephone on 01 679 3477 or online at www.ifi.ie
