As part of a celebration of le cinéma Français Sylvian Chomet, patron of the French Film Festival UK, will be giving at talk after the screening of Paris, Je t’Aime at the Edinburgh Filmhouse on Saturday 28th of April. Sylvian is, of course, the director of one of the best animated films to come out of Europe in recent years Les Triplettes de Belleville, better known to English-language audiences as Belleville Rendevouz. Check the Filmhouse website for full details; also kicking off this very day at the Filmhouse is Scotland’s premiere horror film festival Dead By Dawn – passes for the weekend have sold out but it is still worth checking with the Filmhouse box office for last minute returns.
