Belgium is country of honour at summer festival in French capital which also hosts the industry-focused Paris Project co-production market.
Roman Polanski’s Venus in Fur, starring his wife Emmanuelle Seigner opposite Mathieu Amalric as an actress and director embroiled in a racy, pschological battle of the sexes, will open this year’s Paris Cinema film festival.
The summer, public-focused event has drawn heavily on Cannes for its 11th edition, running June 28 to July 9.
There will be previews of Abdellatif Kechiche’s Palme d’Or winner Blue, in the presence of co-stars Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux, as well as Ari Folman’s Directors’ Fortnight opener The Congress and Francois Ozon’s Palme d’Or contender Young and Beautiful among others.
Some 50 upcoming titles will screen at the festival.

Hard Knock Life: Troch Returns With Another Exquisite Examination on Anguish
Actress turned director Fien Troch returns with her third feature film, Kid, another beautifully wrought portrait of a family caught in the cross-hairs of a cruel existence, this time related almost entirely from the viewpoint of children. With this latest, perhaps a cap on a trilogy of films all dealing with children experiencing tragic circumstances, Troch definitely solidifies herself as one of the best up and coming Belgian directors, and you can certainly add her name to a very small list of up and coming female auteurs.
Two young brothers, Billy (Maarten Meeusen) and Kid (Bent Simons) share a washed out, somnolent existence with their mother (Gabriela Carrizo). It seems their father disappeared some time ago, leaving their mom in extreme financial difficulty, and more than just with bill collectors. She takes her boys to her sister’s farm,...
