Set against the backdrop of World War I, A Very Long Engagement is a sweeping, visually stunning romantic drama starring Audrey Tautou and Gaspard Ulliel.
The film follows a young woman’s unwavering quest to uncover the truth about her fiancé, who has gone missing at the front—blending love, mystery, and the harsh realities of war into a deeply moving story.
If you were captivated by the whimsical universe of Amélie, you will be delighted to rediscover the poetic and imaginative style of director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who brings the same visual artistry and emotional depth to this unforgettable film.

You can also purchase the Festival Package, which includes all 7 films of the festival (6 of them screened at the Glenwood Arts Theater), for the full French cinema experience.

Join us for this beautiful and meaningful screening in a truly historic setting. 🇫🇷✨

It's 1919 and Mathilde is 19 years old. Two years earlier, her fiance Manech left for the Somme where, like thousands of others, he "died on the field of honor." The official notification of his death clearly states this, black ink on white paper. And yet, Mathilde refuses to accept this evidence. If Manech was dead, she would know. She clings on to her intuition as though to a last stretched cord linking her to her lover. A former sergent may insist that Manech died in the no man's land of a trench called Bingo Crépuscule, accompanied by four other soldiers condemned to death for willful mutilation, the message doesn't get through. Mathilde refuses to let go, clings ever more tightly to her convictions and sets out on her own investigation. Despite false hopes and incertitudes, little be little she reveals the truth about what happened to Manech and his four camarades. The path is full of stumbling blocks and traps, but Mathilde is not afraid. Anything can be overcome by those who choose to challenge fate...

The Alliance Française de Kansas City is committed to providing its students with the best possible class experience. We want our students to be happy with their classes and we expect that they will feel comfortable in voicing any concerns they may have. We will strive to address such concerns to the best of our ability. In any event, any refund request of enrollment fees will be subject to the following terms and conditions:

For any refund request, please contact the AFKC School Coordinator and provide the name and email address the purchase was made with.

Reasons for a refund or credit:

  1. Student’s inability to attend classes: No refund of enrollment fees is guaranteed if a student is unable to attend classes after the student has registered. In such event, AFKC, at its sole discretion, may give a student a credit to be used for a class in a future session.
  2. Cancellation of a class for low enrollment: If a class corresponding to the level for which the student has enrolled is not ultimately offered by AFKC due to low enrollment, the student may either enroll in a class at a different level or ask for a refund of the enrollment fees.

Except in the case of cancellation of the class for low enrollment, all refunds will be subject to a $40 processing fee.

In all cases, all refund requests must be received by AFKC no later than the end of the second week of the class session. No refund of any kind will be issued if a refund request has not been received by AFKC before that deadline.

The AFKC will make refund decisions on a case-by-case basis for any scenario not covered in this policy.
