The votes have been counted and we’re delighted to announce that our 2009 People’s Favourite Film is SÉRAPHINE by Martin Provost. A box office hit in its native France, the feature won no less than seven César awards, including Best Film and Best Actress for lead Yolande Moreau. If you missed SÉRAPHINE at the Festival, be sure to catch it when it comes out on general release in the UK at the end of November 2009.
