Among them, the film ‘The Unknown Girl’ will open the festival. The film is a 2016 Belgian-French drama film directed by the Dardenne brothers. Starring Adèle Haenel, Olivier Bonnaud, Jérémie Renier, and Louka Minnella. The film tells the story of a young doctor who lets the door buzzer of her small clinic go unanswered one evening after work hours and then grows determined to discover the identity of a young African woman found dead nearby when the police see from a security tape that she had been the person ringing at the door.
It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. The film was released in Belgium on 5 October 2016 by Cinéart and in France on 12 October 2016 by Diaphana. Each film will be screened free in its original language with Vietnamese subtitles.
Mons International Love Film Festival (FIFA Mons) was launched in 1985. Its first edition was held in 1985, and the 34th edition will take place from 16-23/02/2018. The festival presents films with the subject of “Love” in the broadest meaning of the word. FIFA Mons has since become a reputable film festival in Belgium, Europe and the world.
