The Fifth Annual Classic French Film Festival, presented by TV5MONDE, celebrates St. Louis’ Gallic heritage and France’s cinematic legacy. The fest is annually highlighted by significant feature restorations. This year’s restored films include Julien Duvivier’s “The Ladies’ Paradise,” Claude Lelouch’s “A Man and a Woman,” Pierre Etaix’s “Yoyo” and “The Great Love” (plus two shorts), and Claude Sautet’s “Max and the Junkmen.” The festival again explores France’s major contributions to the silent era and pairs the works with live music: The new-music ensemble Hearding Cats Collective performs with a selection of five avant-garde shorts, and the Poor People of Paris accompany “The Ladies’ Paradise.”

The St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase (SLFS), an annual presentation of the nonprofit Cinema St. Louis, serves as the area's primary venue for films made by local artists. With advances in affordable digital filmmaking, more and more movies are being made in St. Louis and environs, but opportunities for moviegoers to see that work are scarce, because few of the films ever screen commercially.
Friday, Jul 26 to Sunday, Aug 4
