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.
In Bamako, capital of Mali, Melé is a bar singer, her husband Chaka is out of work and the couple is on the verge of breaking up. In the courtyard of the house they share with other families, a trial court has been set up. African civil society spokesmen have taken proceedings against the World Bank and the IMF whom they blame for Africa’s woes.
“Complex, unconventional and often cuttingly satirical, this is a challenging, fascinating and deeply disconcerting experience.” -The Radio Times
