And very good it was too. Whilst the last screening was creepy crawly, this one was cute and cuddly. The theme of ‘French fancies and freaky kid’s flicks’ meant that the sweet shorts were a lot easier on the eye, ear and brain.

The main feature was Jean Tourane’s bizarre Une Fee Pas Commes Des Autres (The Secret of Magic Island), none of which I understood as there were no subtitles but who cares when fluffy ickle animals are being all endearingly human? Watch this extract from his earlier film Saturnin Et La Fee Pas Comme Les Autr and you’ll see what I mean:

I was happily cooing throughout until the grumpy guts sitting beside me suggested some animals may have been harmed during the filming of this programme, which really ruined my fun. Killjoy.
