LES AMOUREUX DU CINÉMA


QUAND LE CINEMA FAIT DE LA POLITIQUE

Five Wednesdays - 26 February, 05, 19, & 26 March 2025 at 4:00 pm

Join us beginning Wednesday 26 February 2025 as we discuss IN FRENCH on ZOOM our 5 French films in the Alliance Française de Sarasota office.

For decades, France has been and remains a country where directors immigrate from all over the world to make political films freely, and French productions have continuously challenged forms of power and censorship

Analyzing French political films provides a unique lens through which to view the intersecting realms of art, politics, and history. These films serve as vibrant narratives that address and reflect upon the pressing socio-political issues of their times. Through the medium of cinema, filmmakers offer critiques, highlight injustices, and explore the complexities of the human condition within specific political contexts.

The films in our series share a connection to France, the French-speaking world, and the French cinematic tradition.

You will be expected to see the four films on your own before each discussion. All fIVE films are available with English subtitles for a nominal rental fee on Amazon Prime (links provided upon registration).  One week in advance of each showing, we will provide vocabulary lists, and suggest possible discussion topics prior to the session, all designed to inspire a lively debate.

We look forward to seeing you at our 5-week ZOOM session, beginning Wednesday 26 February at 4:00 pm as we explore the unique perspectives of our selected French filmmakers.
