The Eden Cinema movie production and distribution company was presenting the fourth edition of the Oh Là Là ! Festival of French Comedy from November 14 to 30, 2018, with support from the Institut Français in Israel, the France-Israel Season 2018, and Unifrance.
This year's guest of honor, the screenwriter Grégoire Vigneron, presented two films directed by Laurent Tirard: Return of the Hero (opening film) and Molière.
