To celebrate 130th anniversary of diplomatic ties between France and Korea, and also 20th anniversary of Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, this year’s edition of BiFan prepares the special program to present the representative genre films from Gaumont which started with the birth of cinema when Lumiere brothers made the first film in the year of 1895. Gaumont is one of the outstanding studios representing Europe not only France.
Including Luc Besson’s hidden jewel, Subway, Bizet’s Carmen which uses the operatic style, the horror classic Eyes Without a Face, Fantomas, the comedy loved by wide range of French people, and The Beauty Of The Devil, the classical fantasy, this special program would offer the audiences the precious experiences to watch the masterpieces from France which they only have heard but didn’t have chance to watch.
Boasting masterpieces of directors including Jean Renoir, Jean-Luc Godard, Louis Malle, and Luc Besson, global hits such as The Big Blue, La Boum, and The Visitors, and works of French goddesses including Isabelle Adjani, Sophie Marceau and Cathrine Deneuve, Gaumont whose library titles are almost one thousand can be called as the treasure house of French cinema. |
