Ciné Club

Everyone loves movies. Join us for interactive experiences as we explore classic and modern French cinema. 


Members will watch the film on their own before our discussion. View it on Kanopy using your local library’s website or on Amazon Prime, Google Play, iTunes or YouTube. 


Discussion questions will be posted a week in advance of the event.  Participants will be able to join a breakout room to discuss the film in either French or English. 


Please RSVP using the form below. The Zoom link will be sent to participants the day before the event.

My Afternoons with Margueritte (La tête en friche), 2010, Directed by Jean Becker


This film stars Gérard Depardieu, Gisèle Casadesus, Claire Maurier, Maurane, and François-Xavier Demaison and is based on the book by the same name. 


The story takes place in a small French village and is about a special bond and improbable friendship formed between a semi-literate man and an older, well-read woman who sort the world out with conversations they hold on a park bench.

__________


AF DuPage held its inaugural Cine' Club on November 5, 2020. La Fille du Puisatier (2011  version) was the perfect film to get the discussion going. AFD members  could choose to join French-speaking or English-speaking breakout rooms  as we spent some time in Marcel Pagnol's Provence. 

Telescopefilm.com

Introducing telescopefilm.com, a new website for international film. Telescope allows users to search  and filter film by title, director, country, language, and genre, and  indicates when the film is available for purchase or through a streaming  service. This month, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy  presents “French Revolutions: A selection of films about revolutionary  moments in France.”
