Kazan to see films of 3rd French Film Festival

Films of the 3rd French film festival will be shown in Kazan's Mir theatre from 10 to 16 February. Eight full-length films for adults and 1 animation film for children were brought by the French Embassy in Russia.

'Mother's smile', a dramatic comedy of Tatarkino, has been shown in the Mir theatre recently. The film took part in four festivals. 20 years ago, a few years before the main heroine had been born; her mother had fallen in love with a young man. When they had broken up, the woman had stopped smiling. The 15-year-old daughter is to make her mother smile again. "'Mother's smile' is a very moving film. It is a brilliant example of low-budget quality films that make spectators both cry and laugh. It tells about how one can unapparently improve his family and friends' lives," film writer and press-secretary of Tatarkino Aisylu khafizova says.
