The Balconettes: Red Flag Night
On Saturday 21 June, we’re hosting an interactive preview of The Balconettes – a pitch-black feminist comedy sizzling with heat, humour and red flags.
A sweltering summer evening in Marseille takes a bloody turn when three young women are invited for drinks by a charming neighbour. The film is bursting with fun, flair and female power but, unfortunately, also with an overload of red flags. That’s why we’re introducing The Red Flag Game.

The Balconettes – English subtitled
Satire, drama, and horror are blended in this film by actress Noémie Merlant. A scorching hot summer evening in Marseille takes a gory turn when three young women are invited for a drink by a handsome neighbour.
As a heat wave brings a Marseille neighbourhood to the boil, best friends and roommates Ruby, Élise and Nicole gleefully meddle in the lives of their neighbours from their balcony. Until a late night drink turns into a bloody affair.
Written in collaboration with Céline Sciamma (Portrait De La Jeune Fille En Feu), Noémie Merlant’s gloriously gory and funny film is a whimsical investigation of the hidden mechanisms of the male gaze, and a prime example of feminist horror comedy. Sometimes gory, sometimes playful, but always vengeful.
The screening on Saturday 21 June at 20:30 is an interactive preview. You can find more information about this on the event page.
