We are proud to host the Francophonie Film Festival as part of le mois de la Francophonie 2020, in partnership with the Délégation du Québec à Boston.

Join us for this screening of Les scènes fortuites. The film follows young filmmaker Damien Nadeau-Daneau who is unable to finish a movie he started with French actor Denis Lavant. In debt, he's working at a post-production company, far from his artistic ideals. On the eve of his 33rd birthday, he is self-centered, unsatisfied, and lost in his own life. With no drama of his own, he is confronted with that of others he meets. He will discover that reality is way more interesting than fiction.

Celebrating le mois de la Francophonie

La Francophonie is a vibrant and dynamic language community shared by some 274 million speakers. From Africa to America, French is spoken on five continents and is the second most learned language after English. With more than 60,000 words, it is an international language of communication used by 80 states and governments. In the United States, the number of Francophones is estimated at 11 million and nearly 13 million Americans report having a French, French-Canadian, or Acadian ethnic origin. The majority of Franco-Americans are concentrated in New England as well as in Louisiana. French, a rich and international language!
