INTERNATIONAL FOCUS ON FRANCE

Inside Out is pleased to return to France for its international focus. Thanks to the support of the Consulat général de France à Toronto and Unifrance, attendees can expect invited filmmakers and great new initiatives. Don't miss the children's screening of the 1956 Oscar-winning The Red Balloon where youngsters will be given their very own red balloons! French music will pop up at many of our social events this year, kicking off the opening night party at the Bata Shoe Museum.

In celebration of our focus, we bring you the Centrepiece Gala, Baby Love (Comme les autres) by Vincent Garenq, a gem of a film about the trials of making a family. In the same vein, but with a more comedic tone, we offer the lesbian gayby flick, The New World (Le Nouveau monde). Longtime companions Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau (Funny Felix) are back at Inside Out with their 40th anniversary tribute to France's May uprising. Eighties icon Béatrice Dalle returns to cinema in New Wave by Gaël Morel, who is now a director but is best remembered as heartthrob Franáois in André Téchiné's Wild Reeds (Les Roseaux sauvages). Other French features and shorts will be scattered throughout the Festival as well.

Join us as we celebrate the work of one of the few nations that, since the invention of cinema and with no apparent break, has consistently produced marvels.
