Results for Favourite French Film voted by Londoners
| To celebrate the enduring and indeed growing popularity of French cinema, Curzon Mayfair and FranceInLondon.com joined forces to find out which French film was London's favourite. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
With the help of a panel of experts 100 French films were carefully selected and the voting took place online on www.FranceInLondon.com between 15th June and 27th July 2004. Despite the fact that the voting process was not easy (people had to pick their 10 favourite films out of 100), thousands of Londoners went online. The results were unveiled at the award ceremony held on 29th September at the Curzon Mayfair. An array of people gathered together to assist to the Award Ceremony. |

The evening started with a champagne reception and was followed by the screening of a specially commissioned trailer for Curzon Cinemas' 70th Anniversary. The trailer was produced by the well-known London based public artist: Martin Firrell who also presented his work in his usual direct and exuberant style.
`Art is like a fart for the soul (...) as your mother will tell you: it's better to have it out than in'. Martin Firrell is especially known for always creating his art in public places and for his direct approach to life. |

Skyscraper .Film is fantastic, there is a cmheical reaction caused by light onto the sensitive matter, which responds, it's a beautiful alchemy, the poetry of which is imitated in digital, but never manifested. Analogue photographers engage with the potency of light, as well as the other crafts of framing, aperture, reciprocity and composition.
