October 29 and 30, 2010 - Fresh French Shorts at NW Film Center

Co-presented by the Alliance, this is NW Film's third annual compilation of recent shorts by emerging French directors offers an eclectic selection of narrative, documentary, and animated international prizewinners. Cinema occupies an especially important place in French culture, with a tradition of major government support underwriting production, distribution, and exhibition both inside and outside the country. While established directors find funding for ambitious new feature films, significant investment also goes into short films by new, risk-taking talents that give voice to the diversity of French society and collectively offer both unique insight into French life and opportunity to the next generation of French filmmakers. Check NW Film's site at http://nwfilm.org/screenings/27/273/#1713 for details and tickets. Also consider attending a complimentary pre-film reception in the Andrée Stevens room on Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m., sponsored by the Alliance and Le Happy, and consider taking in the Kings of Pastry documentary on October 30 and 31, sponsored by Saint Honoré Boulangerie.
