Cinéfranco, English Canada’s largest celebration of international Francophone cinema is celebrating its 15th anniversary with love and passion. And who better than the French to speak the language of love through film? Running in Toronto from Friday, March 23 — Sunday, April 1, 2012 at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, Cinéfranco is an oasis for lovers of Francophone cinema with 16 North American Premieres, 5 Canadian Premieres, and 7 English Canadian Premieres and a showcase of 28 features, 2 documentaries and 11 shorts.

Marcelle Lean, Founder/Artistic & Executive Director of Cinéfranco says of this year’s festival, «15 years ago Cinéfranco was born under the sign of love and passion for Francophone films. Today more than ever love and passion are carried out in the films I have programmed. I am delighted to observe that Francophone films have gained much visibility in Toronto since Cinéfranco’s birth! The challenge for us now is to unearth films that truly did not make it to Toronto…I am proud to say that my young, talented team and I successfully took up the gauntlet programming a great number of films never seen in Toronto from Ontario, Quebec, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Morocco, Mali, Cameroun… They come with prestigious prizes for some and fascinating backgrounds for others.»
