Once again Angers’ wonderful First Film Festival is planned for January 2023 (21st to 29th). The Library will be organising groups to go together to the festival – films, readings, talks, you name it! – which allows reduced prices and great company! Along with new European long feature films, classic films will be shown: The Dictator by & with Chaplin, Vertigo by Hitchcock, Gattaca and some special classics which will give a thrill to the daredevils: The Thing by Carpenter, The Shining by Kubrick. There will be avant-premières like Empire of Light by Sam Mendes and The Eternal Daughter. We will also see a couple of 1st European films which are part of the official selection. Let us know if you are interested in any of these films, which screening before mid-January so we can organise ourselves. For more information about the festival click here.
