The 15th edition of the French Film Panorama in China, hosted by UniFrance in collaboration with the French Embassy in China, will open its doors in Beijing on June 26, 2018, in the presence of Virginie Ledoyen, guest patron of this year's festival.
The Chinese patron of the Festival will be superstar Huang Xiaoming, who was present at the last Cannes Film Festival as a coproducer of Bi Gan's Long Day's Journey into Night.
The delegation attending the French Film Panorama will also include actress Iris Bry and directors Tonie Marshall, Laurent Cantet, and Xavier Legrand, who will present their films to Chinese audiences.
After Beijing, the ten feature films showcased at the event will tour six other cities across China until July 22: Chengdu, Chongqing, Dalian, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Xi’an.
This year's edition of the French Film Panorama has been organized in collaboration with the films' distributors in China and three exhibitors: Broadway Cinemas, Lumière Pavilions, and the Stellar Theater Chain.
