For the Festival’s 28th season, Artistic Director, Philippe Platel, who is celebrating his first year at the helm, has sourced a bewitching selection of 43 features and 2 documentaries that celebrates the ‘crème de la crème’ of contemporary French cinema by blending the work of established filmmakers with that of France’s cinematic luminaries of tomorrow Courtesy of Madman Entertainment, The Odyssey (L'odyssée), a fascinating biopic that tells the tempestuous story of celebrity oceanographer and filmmaker, Jacques Cousteau, will open the 2017 Festival. Directed by Jérôme Salle and starring Lambert Wilson and Audrey Tautou this dazzling epic, with stunning cinematography, will transport audiences to the underwater realm that Cousteau dedicated his life to exploring.

    LE JURY DES LONGS MÉTRAGES 2019 La 26e édition du FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DU FILM FANTASTIQUE DE GÉRARDMER se déroulera du 30 janvier au 3 février 2019. Le Jury des Longs Métrages sera co-présidé par les réalisateurs, scénaristes, producteurs et comédiens français : BENOÎT DELÉPINE & GUSTAVE KERVERN © DR Les cinéastes Gustave Kervern et Benoit Delépine font leurs premières armes à la télévision, l’un pour « Le plein de Super », et l’autre pour « Les Guignols de l’info ». Le duo naît de leur rencontre sur les plateaux de l’émission « Groland », incarnation du vent de liberté qui soufflait alors sur Canal+. Fidèles à l’esprit contestataire de la chaîne, ils irriguent leurs réalisations d’une apparente désinvolture, faite d’improvisation et de surréalisme dès leur premier long-métrage Aaltra (2004). Dans leurs films suivants, Avida (2006), Louise Michel (2008), Mammuth (2010), Le Grand soir (2012), ils poursuivent leur vision du monde et mettent en scène des personnages marginaux, laissés pour compte: Yolande Moreau, Benoît Poelvoorde, Mathieu Kassovitz, Albert Dupontel, Gérard Depardieu, Bouli Lanners ou encore Isabelle Adjani se succèdent ainsi devant leur caméra, aux côtés de comédiens non professionnels. En 2014, ils collaborent avec Michel Houellebecq, écrivain lauréat du Prix Goncourt pour « La carte et le territoire » et personnage central sur lequel se construit leur film Near Death Experience. Ils retrouvent ensuite Gérard Depardieu et Benoît Poelvoorde pour leur road-movie Saint Amour (2016). Leur dernière réalisation I Feel Good,

A story about our secrets, about confinement, about the isolation we all share…." - Philippe Claudel SYNOPSIS Léa (Elsa Zylberstein) and Juliette (Kristin Scott Thomas) are sisters. The film begins with Léa, the younger sister by fifteen years, picking Juliette up at the airport. We soon realize that the two sisters are almost complete strangers to each other. Juliette has just been released from prison after serving a long sentence. Léa was still a teenager when Juliette, a doctor, was convicted of the murder of her six-year-old son. Léa contacted Juliette when she was released and suggested that Juliette come to live with her. Juliette had no particular desire to see her sister again. Luc (Serge Hazanavicius), Léa’s husband, is quite reserved, almost hostile, about Juliette’s presence under their roof.

But it’s not that easy to forget the war and leave violence behind. DECOMPRESSION PROGRAM since 2008, every French soldier returning from a tour of duty goes through a “decompression period” (canadians do the same thing – us soldiers too). They are taken to a five-star hotel for three days where they are supposed to forget about the war and relax among tourists enjoying their vacation. The program, devised by army psychologists, includes aqua- gym and relaxation classes, boat excursions and group mee- tings where everyone must tell the story of their individual experience during the six months spent in a war zone. This military therapy is more or less successful. TWO POWERFUL WOMEN Aurore and Marine are two young women with strong per- sonalities. They’ve known each other since childhood, come from modest backgrounds and grew up in lorient, an ave- rage town, where there aren’t a lot of alternatives for young people to build a future.
