Venue: Germaine Tillion Gardens, SUAD Campus
Free entry

Welcome to the Francophone Cinéclub of Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with the French Institute in the UAE. This new bi-monthly rendez-vous for Cinema Lovers in Abu Dhabi is a journey through French and Francophone cinema. The thoughtfully curated selection spans cartoons, family movies, classics, and socially engaged cinema. All movies are in French, with English subtitles.

Synopsis

A young Parisian boy, Antoine Doinel, neglected by his derelict parents, skips school, sneaks into movies, runs away from home, steals things, and tries (disastrously) to return them. Like most kids, he gets into more trouble for things he thinks are right than for his actual trespasses. Unlike most kids, he gets whacked with the big stick. He inhabits a Paris of dingy flats, seedy arcades, abandoned factories, and workaday streets, a city that seems big and full of possibilities only to a child’s eye.
