Event details

Join us on a cinematic journey across some of the French-speaking countries! This special event invites KS3 students to explore the diversity of Francophone cultures through a vibrant selection of short films from different countries.

Pupils will hear a range of French accents and discover how the language lives and evolves across the globe. In the afternoon, we’ll dive deeper with a feature film that brings one of these cultural worlds to life on the big screen.

A perfect way to inspire curiosity, French language learning, and global awareness through cinema!
