French Film & Wine Night | SF
To help non-French speakers discover French cinema, The Alliance Française of San Francisco is offering a weekly Tuesday night French film viewing.
The film night takes place in their cozy theater with free servings of wine. Admission is free, but a $5 donation at the door is always appreciated.
Don’t know French? Don’t worry, all films are screened with English subtitles, and includes a brief talk and discussion about the film.
Adam, a former central African swimming champion, is the security guard at the swimming pool of an expensive hotel. As conflict looms, he is demoted to the post of gate security guard, his son Abdel taking his former job at the pool. The local chief pressures Adam into supporting Chad’s fight against rebel forces, chastising him for not attending a cause meeting.
‘A Screaming Man is a quiet film about family life, the relationship between fathers and children, and the way generations can shape and reshape each other. It ultimately has a sublime quality’ – The Observer
