screenings of 9 titles

in which, in addition, the attending spectators will be able to chat with the directors and actors of these films that will present each of these premieres.

This event is

The event kicks off on Thursday, June 9 (Institut français, 7:30 p.m.) with the comedy

La brigada de la cocina

The Invisibles

), this film

stars François Cluzet (

A great change with which she will discover that she has a lot to learn as well as teach.

On Friday 10, at 6 p.m.

(Ideal Helm Cinema), it will be the turn for

Return to Reims

, a documentary

in which Jean-Gabriel Périot takes a visual and sound journey through the

history of the French working class

and its struggle for basic worker rights since the 1950s to the present.

That same day, at 7:30 p.m.

(Institut français), the time has come for the telefilm

Touchées

,

by Alexandra Lamy.

With fencing as a backdrop, this

drama celebrates the friendship that emerges between three women who have been victims of gender violence

The film adapts a graphic novel by Quentin Zuttion.

And at 9 p.m.

(Cine Yelmo Ideal) will screen the

romantic comedy

We are made to understand

each other, with Sandrine Kiberlain, Pascal Elbé (who also directs the film) and Valérie Donzelli.

Antoine and Claire are

two apparently very different people for whom fate has many surprises in store

.

In his case when she begins to lose her hearing and, in hers, after the death of her husband.

Saturday the 11th brings two premieres to the Yelmo Ideal Cinema.

Entre les vagues

(18 hours) is a drama by Anais Volpé

about two friends who share everything in their lives

.

Until, one day, they are chosen for the same play in Paris.

And

Promises in Paris

(8:30 pm) is a

powerful political thriller with two stars like Isabelle Huppert and Reda Kateb

that could be seen at the last Venice Film Festival.

His portrayal of human ambition centers on

a mayor who decides to step up

and jump into national politics.

A decision that will lead him to rethink many things.

Finally, on Sunday the 12th it is the turn for three films at the Yelmo Ideal Cinema.

The first is

Los Buscamundos

a marmoset is challenged to travel around the world in 80 days

to win a bet.

The second is

Snow Leopard

unknown fauna present in the high plateaus of Tibet,

Finally, the closure to France is on screen will be put on Sunday 12, at 8:30 p.m., a title that will give a lot to talk about.
