Testament. Director: Denys Arcand.
Screening at more than 40 venues, we are the UK’s only festival dedicated to French and francophone cinema. Our 33rd edition offered audiences an exceptional line-up of premieres, star performances and timeless classics.
Film Feature: Testament

We’re excited to present another standout film from this year’s programme – Testament, a touching comedy with heart from Canadian icon Denys Arcand.
Partly a reflection on life and legacy, the film follows Jean-Michel, a 73-year-old bachelor in a retirement home whose world is shaken by young political activists campaigning to remove an ancient fresco. As he loses faith in a politically correct world, he discovers his love for Suzanne, the facility manager.
