French Fests!

The festival's a teen and is rebellious as ever!  Paris' Forum des Images hosts this year's 18th edition of L'Étrange Festival.

Host to 45 international short-film features from around the world with festival contributions from renowned film makers Kenneth Anger, Jan Kounen, Ben Wheatley and Ron Fricke, the festival is set to live up to its slogan of «La perception de l’inatteignable n’est qu’un leurre de la réalité» or, ‘the perception of the unattainable is but an illusion of reality.’

Running from the 6th to the 16th of September, various themes dot the festival's calender including a zombie night and a dedication to 4-wheel automobile action!
