SUMMARY:Café Conversation @ 10h30
DESCRIPTION:Café Conversation is a great way to practice\, improve and/or help you feel more comfortable speaking French with friendly francophones and francophiles who enjoy speaking French in an informal setting.  The group meets every other Saturday from 10:30 to 12:30 (be sure to check this calendar often). Have a cup of coffee and meet/greet fellow members for the first half hour or so with some small talk – en français (it’s all about practicing!) and then prepare to tackle the subject of the day. \nAn article in French (often with a side-by-side English translation) will be read out loud en français by the participants to practice proper pronounciation and to check understanding of the French vocabulary and grammar. The article will then be used to spark the conversation. \nAll levels of French are welcome. AFNWCT members attend free and a $5 suggested donation is kindly requested from all others. \nThose with a question\, or if you wish to propose a certain topic or lead one of the discussions should contact Brigitte: cafe@afnwct.org \nThis group meets at the AF Center located at 1 Pomperaug Office Park\, Suite 301 in Southbury. See map below.

SUMMARY:Groupe de Lecture - 6:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Meeting on the first Thursday of each month\, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm\, this group has a lot of fun sipping wine\, tasting cheese and crackers and taking turns reading out loud in French. Enjoy hearing and sharing the richness of the French language. \nNovember’s meeting is on the 3rd and will probably meet at its winter location at our AF Center in Southbury. \nSPECIAL NOTE TO NEW PARTICIPANTS: We will probably be starting a new book in November and will need to order it immediately because the copies will be coming from Europe and will take several weeks to arrive. Unlike most of the books we read\, this particular one isn’t so easy to obtain from Amazon (the prices vary a lot) however we have found a dealer who is willing to order new copies that cost a little under $12 each\, including shipping. The title of our next selection is “Lutetia” by Pierre Assouline. \nLutetia (2005) raconte une histoire d’amour entre le détective du Lutetia et une amie d’enfance\, mais surtout une histoire de la France de 1938 à 1945 à travers l’histoire de l’Hôtel Lutetia qui a\, durant toute l’Occupation\, servi de siège à l’Abwehr (les services secrets de l’état-major allemand) puis\, à la Libération\, de lieu d’accueil des déportés et rapatriés. \nDescription\nTapi dans les recoins les plus secrets du Lutetia\, un homme voit l’Europe s’enfoncer dans la guerre mondiale. Édouard Kiefer\, Alsacien\, ancien flic des RG. Détective chargé de la sécurité de l’hôtel et de ses clients. Discret et intouchable\, nul ne sait ce qu’il pense. Dans un Paris vaincu\, occupé\, humilié\, aux heures les plus sombres de la collaboration\, cet homme\, pourtant\, est hanté par une question : jusqu’où peut-on aller sans trahir sa conscience ? De 1938 à 1945\, l’hôtel Lutetia – l’unique palace de la rive gauche – partage le destin de la France. Entre ses murs se succèdent\, en effet\, exilés\, écrivains et artistes\, puis officiers nazis et trafiquants du marché noir\, pour laisser place enfin à la cohorte des déportés de retour des camps. En accordant précision biographique et souffle romanesque\, Pierre Assouline redonne vie à la légende perdue du grand hôtel\, avec un art du clair-obscur qui convient mieux que tout autre au mythique Lutetia… \n \nUne revue du livre:\n“I loved this book; it is long; but every page contains a drop of history which we can view through the prism of the Hotel Lutetia. While not exactly a history book\, I suppose one could call it a “roman cle” since most of the characters and certainly the principal events described are non-fictional. A beautifully written account of the intrigues (and tragedies) of the German occupation. Think of “Remains of the Day” only this is far more poignant and powerful since the Hotel was the headquarters for the Nationalist Socialist Intelligence Agency and the action unfolds in the heart of Nazi-occupied Paris. Very powerful narrative and an unexpected climax approaching the end of the novel. Please read it. It won’t disappoint.”\n\nIf you have any questions\, please let Amanda know at lecture@afnwct.org.\n\nAFNWCT Members attend for free; A suggested donation of $5 is requested from others. \nQuestions or comments? Contact Amanda: lecture@afnwct.org \n

SUMMARY:Short Films Festival 1pm
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The AFNWCT is pleased to announce it will once again co-sponsor with the Southbury Film Commission a Short Film Festival from Eurochannel’s 7th Annual Short Films Tour titled “My Dear Family” showcasing European culture and cinematographic heritage\, the art of short films\, with a rich programming of productions. Some are as short as 5 minutes and as long as 30 minutes. \nThe family has been the core of European society and the vital energy that moves countries and changes almost every aspect of life\, from economics\, to politics\, to arts. The Seventh Eurochannel Short Films Tour will capture this familiar spirit and treat the viewers and cinema lovers with stories about families\, their challenges and greatest accomplishments. The nuclear European family traditionally consisted of a married father and mother with several children\, but today this is only one option among many. Despite the modern day variances\, Europeans continue to value family ahead of friends\, work\, leisure time\, politics and religion as the most important element in their lives. That is why\, this new edition of the Eurochannel Short Films Tour will pay homage to its crucial importance. \nProgram 1\, titled “The Kids are All Right” will be shown on Tuesday\, November 1 at 1:00 pm at the AF Center in Southbury and also on Friday October 28 at 7:00 pm for those who prefer an evening time – also at the AF Center. \nIn addition to a 12-minute comedy from France titled “Merci Marcus\,” by filmmaker Marianne Viard\, movies from the United Kingdom\, Slovenia\, Italy\, Belgium and Austria will be shown. \n\n\n\nPROGRAM 1\nTHE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT\nMin.\nType\n\n\nUNITED KINGDOM\nFor His Sake\n17\nDrama\n\n\nFRANCE\nMerci Marcus\n12\nComedy\n\n\nSLOVENIA\nMulci (Kids)\n12\nDrama\, Animation\n\n\nITALY\nHappy Birthday\n9\nComdey\n\n\nBELGIUM\nJulia\n8\nDrama\n\n\nAUSTRIA\nFamily Portrait\n4\nAnimation\n\n\n\nEach film is shown in its original language with English subtitiles.

SUMMARY:Groupe de Lecture - 6:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Meeting on the first Thursday of each month\, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm\, this group has a lot of fun sipping wine\, tasting cheese and crackers and taking turns reading out loud in French. Enjoy hearing and sharing the richness of the French language. \nOctober’s meeting is on the 6th and will probably be the last meeting at its summer location at the Burnham Library in Bridgewater (see address below). \nSPECIAL NOTE TO NEW PARTICIPANTS: We will probably be starting a new book in November and will need to order it very soon because the copies will be coming from Europe and will take several weeks to arrive.Unlike most of the books we read\, this particular one isn’t so easy to obtain from Amazon (the prices vary a lot) however we have found a dealer who is willing to order new copies that cost a little under $12 each\, including shipping. Our next selection is “Lutetia” by Pierre Assouline. \nLutetia (2005) raconte une histoire d’amour entre le détective du Lutetia et une amie d’enfance\, mais surtout une histoire de la France de 1938 à 1945 à travers l’histoire de l’Hôtel Lutetia qui a\, durant toute l’Occupation\, servi de siège à l’Abwehr (les services secrets de l’état-major allemand) puis\, à la Libération\, de lieu d’accueil des déportés et rapatriés. \nDescription\nTapi dans les recoins les plus secrets du Lutetia\, un homme voit l’Europe s’enfoncer dans la guerre mondiale. Édouard Kiefer\, Alsacien\, ancien flic des RG. Détective chargé de la sécurité de l’hôtel et de ses clients. Discret et intouchable\, nul ne sait ce qu’il pense. Dans un Paris vaincu\, occupé\, humilié\, aux heures les plus sombres de la collaboration\, cet homme\, pourtant\, est hanté par une question : jusqu’où peut-on aller sans trahir sa conscience ? De 1938 à 1945\, l’hôtel Lutetia – l’unique palace de la rive gauche – partage le destin de la France. Entre ses murs se succèdent\, en effet\, exilés\, écrivains et artistes\, puis officiers nazis et trafiquants du marché noir\, pour laisser place enfin à la cohorte des déportés de retour des camps. En accordant précision biographique et souffle romanesque\, Pierre Assouline redonne vie à la légende perdue du grand hôtel\, avec un art du clair-obscur qui convient mieux que tout autre au mythique Lutetia… 462 pages; Paperback; Folio\nUne revue du livre:\n“I loved this book; it is long; but every page contains a drop of history which we can view through the prism of the Hotel Lutetia. While not exactly a history book\, I suppose one could call it a “roman cle” since most of the characters and certainly the principal events described are non-fictional. A beautifully written account of the intrigues (and tragedies) of the German occupation. Think of “Remains of the Day” only this is far more poignant and powerful since the Hotel was the headquarters for the Nationalist Socialist Intelligence Agency and the action unfolds in the heart of Nazi-occupied Paris. Very powerful narrative and an unexpected climax approaching the end of the novel. Please read it. It won’t disappoint.”\n\nIf you have any questions\, please let Amanda know at lecture@afnwct.org.\n\nAFNWCT Members attend for free; A suggested donation of $5 is requested from others. \nQuestions or comments?

SUMMARY:Café Conversation @ 10h30
DESCRIPTION:Café Conversation is a great way to practice\, improve and/or help you feel more comfortable speaking French with friendly francophones who enjoy speaking French in an informal setting.  The group meets every other Saturday from 10:30 to 12:30 (be sure to check this calendar often). Have a cup of coffee and meet/greet fellow members for the first half hour or so with some small talk – en français (it’s all about practicing!) and then prepare to tackle the subject of the day. \nAn article in French (often with a side-by-side English translation) will be read out loud en français by the participants to practice proper pronounciation and to check understanding of the French vocabulary and grammar. The article will then be used to spark the conversation. \nAll levels of French are welcome. AFNWCT members attend free and a $5 suggested donation is kindly requested from all others. \nThose with a question\, or if you wish to propose a certain topic or lead one of the discussions should contact Brigitte: cafe@afnwct.org \nThis group meets at the AF Center located at 1 Pomperaug Office Park\, Suite 301 in Southbury. See map below.
