Paris becomes one gigantic cinema
The Paris Film Festival is going ahead as planned in late March 2003 despite the fact that the municipal authorities have cut funding. The event is organised by film director Frédéric Mitterand (Lettres d’amour en Somalie, Madame Butterfly) and the honorary president will be actress Isabelle Adjani.
The programme includes a tribute to British cinema that includes both classics and a good selection of the best recent productions. Last year’s featured country was Spain. The festival also includes all the usual sidebar events, conferences and meetings with artists and filmmakers we have come to expect, and will take place in the Pierre Cardin Space with all screenings at the “Gaumont Marignan” situated on the Champs Elysées.
