The Alliance Française Classic Film Festival is anew annual event that sets out to showcase classic French cinema.

Organisers of the first festival this September have selected the work of Catherine Deneuve as its focus, with each subsequent year choosing a new French director, actor or talent to celebrate. The festival will showcase six of Deneuve’s films, following her impressive career and the equally impressive filmmakers she worked with in a career spanning four decades.

Screenings of The Umbrella of Cherbourg, The Young Girls of Rochefort, Belle de Jour, A Cop, Indochina and Potiche will be held at Event Cinemas George St and Hayden Orpheum Cremorne between Thursday September 3 and Sunday September 6.

Festival program and tickets will be available from Thursday July 23 from Alliance Française Sydney.
