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.
Laure is a ten year-old tomboy. When one summer she moves to a new area, she introduces herself as a boy named Mickaël. Everybody believes her and she has to live up to this new identity since it’s too late for the mistake to be clarified.
‘The performances of Zoé Héran as Laure and Jeanne Disson as Lisa are extraordinary and Sciamma’s direction is finely balanced between telling a story and raising questions of sexual identity.’ -Evening Standard
“Tomboy” won the Best Audience Award at the San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. Written and directed by Cécile Sciamma. Starring Zoé Héran, Malonn Levana and Jeanne Disson. 82 min. In French with English subtitles.
