WELCOME TO THE ALLIANCE FRANCAISE MOVIE SERIES Please mark your calendars for movies at the Alliance as indicated below. Each film, in French with English subtitles, will be preceded by a brief presentation about the film. The screenings are free, but donations will be encouraged to help support the series. The idea is to present a diverse collection of French films and to call attention to their directors - some well known, some not so well known. And it should be an fun opportunity to converse with other viewers about the film. Please note the Alliance movie events will generally be on the 2nd Friday and third Sundays of each month, though holidays and other events may occasionally change this pattern. We hope you will join us at the movies. Friday, January 13th at 7pm La tourneuse de pages (2006) Snack : Hot Chocolate, tea, Coffee, Pastries
