When Fall Is Coming

The Alliance Française French Film Festival continues to be one of the cultural highlights of the Australian arts calendar. In 2024, the festival attracted a record-breaking audience, eclipsed only by the Taylor Swift tour. This year, the festival is expanding to deliver an eclectic programme of forty-two French and Francophone films across twenty cities (including the former Regent Cinema in Ballarat, Palace Cinema’s latest acquisition). Below are just some of the highlights in what is a strong program overall.
