The Alliance Francaise of NW CT, in collaboration with the Southbury Film Commission, continues its Short Film Festival with Program 7 of Eurochannel’s 6th Short Film Tour at the AF Center, Southbury on Friday, October 23 starting at 7:00 pm. All short films, ranging from 5 to 30 minutes, have the theme of “Youth in Europe” and are shown in their original version with English subtitles.
This grouping of films will feature some very sweet stories – two very amusing shorts about an upcoming soccer star and a mischievous daughter, we’re back in the pool again for another swimming story, a couple of thought-provoking animated shorts – it’s another great program you won’t want to miss!…
In addition to one short film by a director from France (Bourgogne) there will be films ranging from 6 to 28 minutes from Switzerland (German Region), Germany (Berlin), Lithuania, Ireland, Netherlands (Utrecht), Croatia and Latvia (Estonia).
All films are shown in their original language with English subtitles. We’ll show two films, followed by brief discussions, led by our own cinema aficionada, Carol Donahue, before moving on to the next ones. (see details below.)
All Programs are free. Gather your friends and family and come discover Europe, visit its countries and listen to all its languages…
RSVP IS REQUESTED FOR EACH PROGRAM. Please call 203-707-0710
As part of this Short Film Festival, the final Program, a collection of French shorts will be shown on November 8.
The Southbury Film Commission’s mission is to market the town of Southbury as a filming destination by promoting local professionals and support services. For more information, please go to: www.southburyfilm.org
