After 15 days of the best of the latest releases from the French cinema industry, the Festival in 2010 has continued the trend of becoming bigger and more popular.
More than 12,000 attendences, which is greater than a 20 percent increase on the last Festival, is a clear sign of the significance that French films have for Brisbane audiences.

Showcase Events
The Festival went on with more than 80 screenings, and four showcase events that allowed the spectators to enjoy a lovely glass of French red or white Côtes du Rhône wine before seeing one of our selected movie.
The heartbreaking romance "You'll miss me" was a huge success with more than 200 attendances! |
School Screenings
Five screenings were dedicated to schools, like the hilarious "Little Nicholas" and "Trouble at Timpeltill".
Pedagigical activities were prepared for "Little Nicholas" so the children were able to discover the characters and
vocabulary from the movie while playing games.
Some students prepared very creative French labels with their names on it to win French prizes!
