Unifrance is organizing, in partnership with the Institut Français, Francia está en pantalla, an audiovisual event that will take place in Spain from June 7 through 10, and will show premiere screenings of eight films and an audiovisual program in the presence of many artists.
Francia está en pantalla is first of all a showcase for the public, with premiere screenings of French films, followed by encounters with the films' actors and directors, and the possibility of master classes.
8 films will be presented in premiere screenings before their theatrical release. A television drama will also be screened before its broadcast in Spain. The Sitting Duck by Jean-Paul Salomé will open the event on Wednesday night at the Institut Français in Madrid. He and the film's star, Isabelle Huppert, will be present at the screening. Huppert will also participate in a master class with Unifrance President Serge Toubiana on Thursday, June 8 at 4pm, at the Spanish Film Academy.
The two daily screenings will take place at MK2 Cine Paz, and Romain Cogitore's television film A Place to Fight For will be presented on Thursday evening at the Institut Français, before its launch on Disney+.
The following people are expected to attend (to be confirmed): Nicolas Bedos, Léonor Serraille, Annabelle Lengronne, Serge Bozon, composer Benjamin Esdraffo (as part of our partnership with Sacem), Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar, Sébastien Tulard, Wilfried Méance, Bertrand Usclat, and Jean-Christophe Roger.
