Alliance Française de Cork

Bienvenue au Festival du film français de Cork!



We are delighted to present the programme of the 34th Cork French Film Festival which features the best of French-language cinema, with a variety of exciting long features. This year’s selection will take you on a virtual journey to France, Belgium, Canada, Senegal, and Greece.

Our 2023 programme consists of 12 fantastic films, including this year’s Oscar French-language Belgian nominee “Close”, 7 Irish Premieres, a family film which has won a French Academy Award, a screening in tribute to French actor Gaspard Ulliel (1984-2022), and screenings for post-primary schools.

We are pleased that our Festival has returned to its original March dates, as March is known in Ireland as “Francophonie Month” celebrating the French language and the diversity of the French-speaking world. 

We would like to thank all who have been supporting the CFFF and to wish a very warm welcome to all newcomers.
