GO FRENCH!
Cinémoi, the first and only channel dedicated to French film, is set to launch in the UK next week.
From February 23, Cinémoi will be available on Sky channel 839 to bring a touch of glamour and style to Britain's TV screens.
Cinémoi will celebrate more than a century of French cinema by screening classic and contemporary films and documentaries with subtitles.
Fans of French film will even be able to try a taster for free every night until April 6.
Exclusive interviews with some of the industry's most influential names including Catherine Deneuve (Belle de Jour)and Isabelle Huppert (The Piano Teacher) will be screened alongside celebrated films such as Bridget Bardot's Le Mepris, Vincent Cassel's La Haine and Francois Truffaut's 400 Blows.
Vincent Cassel, one of France's most prominent actors (Oceans 12, La Haine, Eastern Promise) will launch the channel.
Mint Group (owners of KOKO) and 3DD Group (producers of The Album Chart Show) have teamed up with Ed Pressman, one of Hollywood's leading independent film producers (Wall Street, American Psycho) to create Cinémoi.
Julien Plante, from London's No. 1 French cinema Cine Lumière, has programmed more than 1,000 films and documentaries for festivals, cinemas and events.
He will now curate the channel.
"We are really excited about launching Cinémoi in the UK," says Julien.
"The growth of French cinema and the increasing numbers of people with a real passion for it means that this feels like the perfect time to launch the channel.
"With more than 30 new films every month, Cinémoi will be a celebration of all things French, packaged to communicate glamour, style, quality and entertainment."
