Film Screenings at Alliance Francaise - October 2020
For the month of October, Alliance Française in Dubai will screen films 3 times a week - Thursday afternoons will focus on family friendly films, Saturday evenings will be dedicated to contemporary French cinema, Sunday nights will be all about the classics featuring four films by François Truffaut. I am very much looking forward to this.
The screenings are free for Alliance Française students, AED 25 for Alliance Française members and AED 35 for non-members. You can buy tickets from here, and here’s the location map.
The feature films include English subtitles.
Below is the line up. Synopsis and trailers can be found here - https://www.afdubai.org/cineclub.
