Speaking at the opening of the festival, Nilüfer Municipal Council Member Yücel Akbulut said that the Francophone Film Festival has become an indispensable part of Nilüfer's art lovers in a short time. Expressing that art lovers will have the chance to watch French films at the festival, which will last until April 25, Akbulut said, “During this economic crisis, I am sure many people even forgot to go to the cinema. You know how expensive it is to go to the movies with your family. "Under these conditions, Nilüfer Municipality offers our citizens the opportunity to watch outstanding films of French cinema for a very affordable fee," he said.
Following the speeches, the Francophone Film Festival started with the screening of the French-Canadian co-production "Falcon Lake" at the Serdar Şafak Stage in Konak Culture House.
