Discover the richness of French and Francophone cinema with our monthly Ciné‑Club—where every film opens a window onto history, culture, and emotion.

How it works

Watch it at home
Each month, we select a quality French or Francophone film.
Watch it in advance—we select films available for free via Kanopy (with a library card)

Join the discussion
We meet at AFKC, to speak about the movie after a quick presentation giving the context of the movie.
Bring your insights, questions, and favorite moments.
