My French Film Festival begins on January 19

Three films from the festival selection, 'Fifi' by Jeanne Aslan and Paul Saintillan, 'No Dogs or Italians Allowed' by Alain Ughetto, and 'Junkyard Dog' by Jean-Baptiste Durand, will be available to watch with Turkish subtitles.

Nine feature films and nine short films in the MyFrenchFilmFestival competition selection will compete for the Feature Film Grand Jury Prize, the Feature Film International Press Award, the Short Film Content Creators Award, and the Feature and Short Film Audience Awards.

'IT WILL HAVE AN EYE-OPENING EFFECT'

This year, Turkish actor and critic Emrah Kolukısa is serving on the festival's International Press Jury.

Kolukısa expressed his thoughts on the festival and his jury membership as follows:

"Cinema is, of course, one of the most effective tools for interaction between cultures and societies, and in this sense, it is a great honor to take on the role of a jury member at such a festival.

It will be a great pleasure to watch the films competing in this festival, where the new generation of French cinema creators take the stage, and to discover new masters. Furthermore, the evaluations I will make with my colleagues on the international jury will undoubtedly have an eye-opening effect; I cannot wait to watch the films."
