The following stars will take part in the tour : Charlotte Rampling, Lou Doillon, Jean Rochefort, Judith Godrèche, Romain Duris and Patrice Leconte.
Anche attori e registi aderiranno all'iniziativa partecipando a parte del tour promozionale. Tra gli altri, ci saranno Charlotte Rampling, Lou Doillon, Jean Rochefort, Judith Godrèche, Romain Duris e Patrice Leconte.
On 5 and 6 March the Film Council and the Centre National de la Cinématographie (CNC) will hold a round-table about the distribution of French films in the UK.
