Peugeot IFI French Film Festival 2026
Date: Wed 18 Nov & Sun 29 Nov
Location: Irish Film Institute, Dublin

Paul Haessaerts and Henri Storck's award-winning film Rubens (1948) was more than a formal analysis of Rubens' oeuvre. Through imaginative use of cinematographic techniques, this film brings Rubens' pictorial world to life with often striking comparisons with real-life imagery. Using split screens, Rubens' fluid and natural style is systematically compared to the works of Flemish painters such as Dieric Bouts and Jan Van Eyck.
