BLAISE at IFI
French Film Festival

BLAISE screens as part of IFI French Film Festival 2026. The comedy follows the Sauvages, a slightly dysfunctional middle-class family: image-obsessed Carole (voiced by Léa Drucker) and work-averse Jacques are too busy to listen to their asocial son Blaise. A chance encounter with Joséphine, the daughter of his mother's boss, sparks a rebellion. The film blends photomontage animation—2D cut-out characters with skewed proportions—with live action and an upbeat score. It was an official selection in the ACID Section at Cannes International Film Festival and in Official Competition at Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The screening is introduced by Ciarda Tobin, Programme Manager, IFI Next Generation (15-19). Tickets are available to book.
