Enter below for your chance to win a double pass to Alliance Francaise French Film Festival. Running from 17 Mar–13 Apr.

This inspiring festival highlights the best of French cinema and provides us with something we all need right now – a moment to breathe and an escape from these challenging times. This year’s edition showcases 37 films that will make you dream, laugh and cry, featuring a rich and colourful tapestry of characters with stories larger than life.
The Festival opens with the inspiring film Eiffel, a thrilling tale about one of France’s most iconic structures, centred around the love story between Romain Duris and Emma MacKay.
In 2021, there are more female directors than ever before, and the female characters are talented (Aline), fierce (The Rose Maker), free-minded (The Godmother) elegant (Appearances), and as bubbly as champagne (Antoinette in the Cévennes).
Laugh with tender bemusement at the sheer folly of certain characters (Perfumes, #Iamhere), the absolutely bizarre (Mandibles), the magnificent losers (Delete History) and those who rebel against the world’s insanity (Bye Bye Morons).
Like all things French, love is a recurrent theme in this year’s festival. Its complexities are explored with sensitivity in Love Affair, humour and finesse in The Wedding Speech, fragility in Summer of 85 and through France’s Delicious love affair of food.
The festival also highlights diversity and includes the most intriguing tale about art and human rights (The Man Who Sold His Skin), the devastation of civil war (Small Country: an African Childhood and Skies of Lebanon), the migrant plight (Night Shift), an urban story which shoots our imagination to the stars (Gagarine), the fight for acceptance (Miss and Little Girl) and the inspirational true tale of a young refugee who conquered the world of chess (Fahim, the Little Chess Prince).
