Early Bird Selection Now Available for Booking

May 19, 2026

Dear Programmers

In tandem with IFCinéma and with the support of Screen Scotland, the organisers of the 2026 French Film Festival UK have compiled an Early Bird Selection which is now available for booking – directly with the festival. The titles (all films in French with English subtitles) will also form part of the festival’s main programme when full details are revealed later in the year. There’s an appealing mix of heart-warming dramas, sumptuous costume epics, comedy, animation, documentary, new talents, Cannes connections, festival favourites and two classics by masters Claude Chabrol and Jean Grémillon.

The formats are Blu-ray, DCP or direct download and are flagged on the attached notes. Titles can be reserved for the period 16 October to 10 December 2026 inclusive. The festival also will also supply supporting material including hi-res images, trailers and press packs where available.
