Watching films is an excellent way to improve one’s language skills, while developping cultural knowledge and curiosity for francophone
cultures.
The Alliance Française proposes French-speaking film screenings for schools, with a selection of French movies adapted to
every age group and level. Along with the screening, we can also offer an educational activity. Each film is subtitled in French, Dutch or
English.
The screening takes place at your school, at a date decided together with the school teacher.
