The organisers of the Champs-Élysées Film Festival in Paris have released the schedule for the upcoming 2014 event.
Starting on the 11th June 2014 (a Wednesday) it runs for 7 days across 7 venues along, not surprisingly, the Avenue des Champs-Elysees between the world famous Arc de Triomphe and Place de la Concorde square which contains the Luxor Obelisk.
The short film The Coin will be shown at the festival as part of a collection under the banner Courts Métrages Américains (Hors écoles), which translates as ‘American Short Films (excluding schools)’. I presume that submissions by students are dealt with separately.
Lucky for some the screening takes place on Friday the 13th of June at the MK2 Grand Palais, which is near the Place de la Concorde end of the avenue.
The Coin, co-starring Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) and by writer/director/produer Fabien Martorell, shares the bill with 5 other short films in a screening starting 8:45pm.
It appears that the screening is a one off, with no repeat viewings on the schedule.
You can find all the details on the festival website HERE (so far it is only in French, an English version is promised in a couple of weeks).
