THE Station Cinema in Richmond will play host to the 31st annual UK French Film Festival this November, and has two pairs of tickets to give away to celebrate.
Richmond, which has been twinned with St Aubin du Cormier in Brittany for over 20 years, has played host to the festival at the Station Cinema every November for a number of years; with a wide range of films shown to hundreds of eager audiences.
The French Film festival will begin on Friday, November 3 for two weeks ending on Thursday, November 16, and very much keeps with the aim of the independent CCA to reach film fans with releases from across the globe not just the usual Hollywood blockbusters.

Film selections have been carefully curated by the cinema team including, Driving Madeleine, starring Line Ranuad and Alice Isaaz; The Taste Of Things, Bonnard, Pierre, and Marthe alongside Goliath.
In a coup for anyone attending this years' French Film Festival, the Cannes 2023 Film Festival Palme D’Or and Palm Dog Award winning Anatomy of a Fall will be screening exclusively in the first week, before its general release later in the month.
General manager Dan Westgarth said: “It’s an incredible honour to once again play host to a fantastic set of titles of acclaimed films from French cinema in a range of genres.
"It certifies us on the map of one of the only venues in the North to be able to showcase these releases. We are looking forward to welcoming audiences new and old to The Station this November and I think you’ll be delighted with our schedule.”
Five titles will screen across the fortnight with film screenings available to book today, details can be found via the official flyer available at the Cinema Box Office, or by visiting the cinema website and clicking on French Film Festival.
