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.

Film at Goethe-Institut | French Film & Wine Night | SF

Please Note: For this special occasion, the weekly French movie night will take place at the Goethe-Institut (530 Bush Street) and not at Alliance Francais, as it typically does.

Join a reception for the exhibition “Germany and France – Half a Century of Friendship and Cooperation” followed by the film screening of “Marseille.”

Spanning 50 years, from the signing of the Elysée Treaty until today, this exhibit of large text boards will take us on a stroll through the evolution of Franco-German friendship. In “Marseille,” Sophie, a young photographer trades in her apartment with a student in Marseille. Official selection “Un Certain Regard”, Festival de Cannes 2004.

2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the Élysée Treaty, a treaty of friendship putting an end to centuries of enmities between the two countries. Alliance Française and the Goethe-Institut San Francisco celebrate the coming together of the arts, commerce, business, politics and, last but not least, the people of France and Germany.
