French Film Week features a curated selection of 38 French films, some of which have been showcased at such prestigious events as the Cannes Film Festival, Venice International Film Festival, and Locarno Film Festival. From June 14 to June 23, these films will be screened a total of 156 times across major cinemas in Shanghai.
This cultural initiative aims to provide Chinese audiences with a rich experience of French cinema, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of French culture.

"I think it's a great opportunity to be able to see a lot of French movies in China. Just like earlier in May, there was a Chinese week in France." French movie producer Natacha Devillers shared with CMG, "I think it's very important to do co-productions, films between France and China, between China and other countries. It keeps the dialogue alive."
"I think it's super-important to keep the dialogue open through art." She added, "It's a key way to keep people together and engaged. And I think society really needs that now."
