The Ciné-Club Films Français with AAWE began in September 2022. The group meets from September through June, in three quarters.
We are a group of near native French speakers who want to expand our knowledge of French cinéma as well as polish our conversation skills. We watch a French film, exploring all genres, on streaming and meet once a week on Zoom for a lively and engaging discussion in French. Why on Zoom? Because some participants are living in London and New York.
We incorporate face to face get togethers for those living in Paris, an apéro to kick off each season and a lunch to end each season. In between, we may meet once in a while to see a French movie at the theater together followed by a discussion in a café.
The group guided by AAWE member Valérie Satterfield, who is French/American, born and raised in Paris. In 1981, she left France to attend (and graduate from) Brandeis University and ended up living in the US for 37 years. In her professional career she taught French to professionals in Boston, Washington D.C. and New York and eventually to school students in independent preparatory schools. She moved back to Paris in 2018.
Zoom details and list of films will be emailed to you after registering.
