The Joy of Francophone Cinema

October 24, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Explore the diversity of French-language film from around the world.  Each month, a film from one of the regions influenced by French language and culture will be available for viewing, then we will gather at the end of the month to discuss it.  We’ll pay special attention to the relationship between the region’s primary culture and the colonial influences on it.  This month’s film is “Indigenes” (“Days of Glory”), Rachid Bouchareb’s 2006 French-Moroccan wartime drama examining the contribution of North African soldiers to the Free French Forces in World War II, as well as the discrimination they faced. Though some French may be spoken in the meetings, they are open to people of all skill levels, and we will make sure that everyone can follow the discussion.
