The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to continue the Rendezvous with French Cinema Series with the one-night-only debut of the award-winning “Hippocrates” on Thursday, March 26. There will be two shows at 4 and 7 p.m. at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
Rendezvous with French Cinema — a co-presentation of the Film Society of Lincoln Center and Unifrance Films — attests to the sheer variety and vitality of contemporary French filmmaking. The lineup includes established masters, critics’ favorites, and actor-turned-directors who have fully come into their own as filmmakers, alongside some of the emerging talent from what has been called France’s next New Wave.
“Hippocrates” is the second film in the four-week series.
Benjamin is meant to be a great doctor, he’s certain of it. But his first experience as a junior doctor in the hospital ward where his father works doesn’t turn out the way he hoped it would.
Responsibility is overwhelming, his father is all but present, and his co-junior partner, a foreign doctor, is far more experimented than he is. This internship will force Benjamin to confront his limits… and start his way to adulthood.
