Rendez-Vous with French Cinema , the annual Paris showcase of upcoming French movies, looks set to go ahead without major disruption despite the continued wave of transport strikes across France, according to organizerA spokesperson for the French cinema promotion org said that because all aspects of the Rendez-Vous were contained in the same area, including the market and screenings, it should not be unduly affected and that they are “keeping fingers crossed” for a smooth event.
French public transport operator RATP continues to warn that travel in the capital remains “very disrupted” on its Twitter feed. Travel across the city is certainly a bigger headache than usual. “Every venue is very close and accessible by walking distance,” he said, adding that they were expecting a full house for the opening night screening.
In total there will be 184 French productions and co-productions presented at this year’s Rendez-Vous.
