So excited at the fabulous programme of films in the new #alliancefrenchfilmfestival @palacecinemas . Had a sneak peek of #TheGodmother with the fantastic @isabelle.huppert. Brilliant ! Can’t wait to see Depardieu play chess in Fahim, the Little Chess Prince and @kristinscottthomas in Final Set. Very apt as we watch @australian_open2021 . And there are so many more. Book now...

Thinking of the family I never knew on this #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay. Especially Ida Hoffer whose photo I grew up with without knowing what she had suffered. Ida was murdered with her sisters Laura and Klara -all three shot in the neck in front of a pit in Maly Trostinec by the Nazis. They were my great aunts. I found them researching my book #TheWritingOnTheWall. Today and every day I think of you.
