Held again in four cities, the 2026 lineup mixes major new productions of cherished classics with animation, comedy and much more.
The French Film Festival returns to Malaysian screens, showcasing a diverse lineup of films from the past and present. Spanning Victor Hugo's classic "Les Misérables" to Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of the Opera," the event brings together a mix of contemporary titles and beloved classics. Running from November 19 to December 6, the festival features 10 films screening across major cities in Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, and Kuching.
Among the featured films are historical depictions of France's resistance during World War II, romantic fantasies set in Paris, and a lighter animated adventure involving a mischievous yellow creature. The festival aims to foster cultural exchange between French and Malaysian film industries, with potential for future collaborations and student exchange programs.
