From March 14 to the 23rd this quite interesting festival will take place in Creteil, France and here are some highlights of the fest.

To celebrate the 30 years of our Festival, we are happy to invite Josiane Balasko, a very important French actress of today, but also a director and a novelist, whose work and commitments we have always highly respected. With her outspokenness, her unique way of being funny and attaching at the same time, Josiane Balasko has established herself as one of the leading figures, impossible to circumvent of the French cinema. She does not resemble anybody, and nobody resembles her. However she is source of a kind of modernity, which one could easily envy her, because as an actress, she is "gender" to the root of her wigs. Able to play an impressive pallet of roles, to change sex as one changes ones shirt, to get into the skin of a bush truck driver (Gazon Maudit) or of a non tamed spit-fire (the Ex-wife of my life)... she irradiates with funniness, but always in a benevolent way towards her fellow mankind .
