HE Alain Azouaou, Ambassador of France to the UAE, said: The francOfilms Festival is a wonderful opportunity for audiences in the UAE to come out and enjoy a unique and compelling line-up of films. The United Arab Emirates is an eminent observer of the Organisation International de la Francophonie and its important that we celebrate the French language through this cultural event, French being the language of arts and culture.

A delight for film buffs, francOfilms festival will include among others, the GCC Premiere of the megahit Asterix & Obelix : God save Britannia, the classic Egyptian film The Hunger, multiple-award winners The Giants from Belgium and The Little Room, the innovative Lebanese Rocket Society, the poetic Wind Horse from Morocco and Oscar nominees Mister Lazhar and The Illusionist.
