16th French Film Festival Returns Again

The French Film Festival is back yet again showcasing the best France can offer. We ourselves have experienced and appreciated this camaraderie between us and our French brothers when we watched "La Vie en rose" a few years back. Truly, the French Film Festival is fast-becoming an annual tradition to look forward to and this year, the film festival is actually bigger and better as some of the best works in local cinema are also being shown to the public. Ow, and by the way, admission is completely and absolutely free - just be ready to go early due to the long lines.
