The Shangri-La Plaza presents avid moviegoers the chance to experience the magic of France with the French Film Festival. To be held from June 6 to 14 at Shang Cineplex Cinema 3, the event features 15 poignant films that capture the beauty and essence of the country.
Ca Brule follows the thrilling love story of a 15-year-old adolescent girl living in Var. Her summer becomes a much more exciting and exultant one as she embarks on a relationship with a 37-year-old teacher, voluntary fireman, and married father of two.
In À Tout De Suite, a 19-year-old woman living in the ’70s experiences a rude awakening as she runs away from her parents’ apartment for a whirlwind adventure that takes her to Spain, Morocco, and Greece. Even worse, she gets deeper into a relationship with a lover who is a thief and who has committed a hold-up that led to several people’s deaths.
La Pianiste is about respectable piano teacher Erika Kohut, who tests the heart and affections of her younger student, while Marie-Jo Et Ses Deux Amours tells the story of Marie-Jo, a woman torn between two lovers — her husband and another man.
Get caught up in the mystery and thrill of Un Secret, as young 15-year-old Francois, who has created for himself an imaginary brother, is told a massive family secret that will change his life forever.
Dix-Sept Fois Cècile Cassard portrays the unforgettable journey of a woman who attempts to rebuild her life.
L’Esquive is the story of a boy named Krimo, a troublemaker who falls in love with a girl and is incapable of declaring his feelings for her.
Home is a stunning film about our home planet through footages from fifty different countries — how humans have treated it, the consequences we reap, and how we can rebuild it.
Go back in time, to the morning of Sept. 5, 1661 in Jean de la Fontaine, which follows the brave journey of poet La Fontaine as he stands up for the destitute in the thick of a dangerously despotic regime in France.
Flandres tells the remarkable story of Demester, who enlists in the army along with other men. He becomes a warrior in battle — but his young love Barbie struggles as she is far away from the man she loves.
Van Gogh relives the famous artist’s journey during the most productive time of his life — from the moment he arrived in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890 to the events leading up to his death.
Les Quatre Cents Coups, part of the Antoine Doinel saga, tells the story of young Antoine, a boy with a troubled childhood and who eventually gets entangled with the police.
A story of a brother and sister unfolds in Ma Saison Préférée. Emily and Bruno are reunited as they set out to care for their slowly-deterioratin g mother.
Ridicule takes us back to the royal courts of Louis XVI through the eyes of Grégoire Ponceludon de Malavoy, who comes from a family with a history of nobility and bankruptcy.
Last, but not the least is Zim & Co. Zim attempts to get his life in order by trying to find a job — it’s that or he goes to jail. The only problem is, the one job he finds requires him to have a driver’s license, which he has to acquire in 10 days.
