French Film Festival in Málaga: A Window into Francophone Culture

Every October, Málaga dresses up in cinema with the arrival of the French Film Festival, an event that has become an essential part of the city’s cultural agenda. Organized by the Alliance Française, the festival brings to local and international audiences the best of contemporary French and Francophone cinema.

For several days, Málaga’s cinemas become a showcase of premieres, exclusive screenings, and award-winning films from international festivals. It is a unique opportunity to discover innovative proposals, enjoy a wide range of genres—from drama to comedy—and meet new voices in European cinema.

But the festival goes beyond the screenings. It also includes meetings with directors, actors, and screenwriters, as well as workshops and parallel activities that foster cultural dialogue. This interaction transforms the event into a vibrant space where the audience can connect directly with the creators.

The French Film Festival also highlights Málaga’s role as a cosmopolitan and open city, consolidating it as a meeting point between cultures. For visitors, attending this event means not only watching great films but also experiencing how the city breathes art and creativity at every corner.

If you are in Málaga in October, don’t miss this cultural appointment. The French Film Festival is the perfect occasion to enjoy cinema in its original version and get inspired by the richness of European film.
