About this Event
From 8 – 22 June, the Institut français presents Beyond Words, a festival celebrating writers from across the French-speaking world whose works are reaching new audiences in English, alongside a curated selection of films inspired by literature.
Spanning geographies from Beirut to Italy and iconic figures as Klimt and Cantona—the festival journeys through a rich landscape of ideas, moving fluidly between the intimate and the political.
Audiences are invited to engage directly with these works through conversations with their authors, offering deeper insight into their contexts and creation.
The programme extends to the screen, where stories transcend the page through new adaptations—from Balzac to Camus—as well as films exploring the lives of writers.
