The  Albertine Francophone Festival, formerly the Tournées Festival at Lafayette College has been funded through a grant from the French Cultural Services (FACE) and is part of an initiative to bring contemporary French cinema to college and university campuses across the US. This year’s selection of films includes an array of genres from dramas to musicals (Aline) and a classic film  (Les 400 Coups). Our animation this year is Josep, based on the drawings of Josep Bartolí, an artist born in Barcelona, and Serge, a sympathetic French camp guard. We are offering French, Belgian, Swiss,  Canadian and African films whose  directors are established figures as well as several new voices. This is the ninth year that we have been selected to offer this festival to the Lafayette and Easton communities.

The program has been made possible by the  Albertine Cinémathèque, a program of FACE Foundation and Villa Albertine, with support from the CNC / Centre National du Cinema, and SACEM / Fonds Culturel Franco-Américain as well as Lafayette’s Department of Languages &Literary Studies
