The In French With English Subtitles film festival  returns for the seventh year next weekend, November 20th to 22nd. The three-day affair kicks off with a screening of Pascal Elbé’s Je Compte Sur Vous (Thank You For Calling) starring Zabou Breitman and Vincent Elbaz, following by a Q&A session with the director and actors and, of course, a cocktail party.

On Saturday, the festival will screen The Sweet Escape (Comme Un Avion) directed by and starring Bruno Podalydès (Paris, Je T’Aime) about a man who dreams of flying an airmail plane until he discovers the joys of kayaking. Then Fred Grivois’ La Résistance de l’Air takes a champion rifle shooter and gives him a chance to solve his family’s problems by putting his skills to a different use.

Saturday night, director, co-writer, and actor Clovis Cornillac will join actor and co-writer Lilou Fogli for a screening of their new film Blind Date (or: Un Peu Beaucoup Aveuglement), followed by a Q&A with the auteurs. The night will be capped with Philippe Le Guay’s Floride, in which an octogenarian with a failing memory decides, on a whim, to fly to Florida.

Sunday will bring screenings of L’Astragale by writer-director Brigitte Sy (Les Mains Libres) and Nos Futurs by writer-director Rémi Bezançon (The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life). The New Adventures Of Aladdin will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers, and the festival will close with François Favrat’s Boomerang, starring Mélanie Laurent (Inglorious Basterds) and Laurent Lafitte (Little White Lies) and the festival’s closing ceremonies.
