This year, we collaborated with our Official Partner Renault, to capture that pre-red carpet feeling, exploring the moments before premiering a new film and showcasing it to audiences for the very first time.

Next in the series: French director Alice Winocour, premiering her latest film Couture starring Angelina Jolie.

We caught up with her en route to the red carpet where we talked about the themes of her new film and the excitement of sharing her work with audiences for the very first time.

Filmed inside our all-electric fleet of Official Festival Cars, the series shows how our partnership with Renault helps the festival deliver premium hospitality while staying true to our its sustainability commitments.

Nice manners. Bad intentions. The Good Boy is in cinemas now 🎬

Fresh from its Irish premiere at DIFF, Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough star in this twisted, darkly funny thriller where “rehab” means kidnapping… and nothing goes to plan.

Unhinged, biting, and impossible to look away from — are you ready?
