FILM SCREENINGS AT ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE - AUGUST 2020
Alliance Française in Dubai is screening more films this month. The line up is packed with new and recent titles, plus a few classics and films for kids and teens.
I attended many of the screenings last month, and under the current circumstances with COVID-19 restrictions, it’s been a great lifeline for cinephiles or anyone curious about or interested in French cinema.
The screenings are free for Alliance Française students, AED 25 for Alliance Française members and AED 45 for non-members. You can buy tickets from here, and this is the location map.
You can read the synopsis and watch the trailers here.
