CINE CLUB / NY / FRIDAY 11-08-24

Experience “Le Coucou Ciné-Club”, a uniquely-curated evening of French Cinema ! 

Each month, we screen a handpicked French film, from a batch of both new movies & classics with no boundaries in regards to genre, variety, release date or popularity, followed by a lively discussion and engaging questions to dive deeper into the story and its cultural nuances. Enjoy a delightful selection of wines as you mingle with fellow film enthusiasts, share your thoughts, and discover new perspectives. 

Whether you’re a francophile or just curious about French culture, our Cine Club event will take place at our newest location, Le Loft, and promises an evening of fun, film, and fantastic conversation.

For our second event in November, join us for the screening of La Haine, a raw, gripping and visually explosive portrayal of France’s social reality. Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, this critically acclaimed film is a no-holds-barred portrayal of Paris’ suburbs in the mid-nineties. For many, this film marked the first time a generation saw itself truly represented on screen, capturing the anger, frustration, and sense of alienation felt by France’s youth of color. With powerful performances and a striking black-and-white aesthetic, La Haine brings to life the stark reality of urban existence, racial tensions, and societal discontent in France. This is more than just a movie – it’s a social commentary that remains as relevant today as it was then. Join us and experience a French classic that challenges, provokes, and resonates.

The film will be shown in French, with English subtitles.

Please note that our classes, workshops & events are only open to adults.
