Take a trip to France without ever leaving town at the 14th Annual Sacramento French Film Festival, running from June 19 to 28 at the historic Crest Theatre. This summer you’ll exclaim “My Life is a French Movie!” as the SFFF presents two weekends of French films, food and fun including screenings of numerous 2015 César winners (French Academy Awards), as well as classics, a couple late night movies and “too many short films to count,” according to a press release submitted to Submerge.
“Our 2015 film selection includes every genre and style to please every cinephile,” they wrote. “Romance, adventure, drama, comedy, thriller, fantasy …”
You can see, there really is a little something for everyone and as always, all the films have English subtitles! The opening movie is a comedy/drama called Samba that screens on Friday, June 20 at 8:30 p.m., directly after the opening reception in the lobby of the Crest, which starts at 6 p.m. Another film to look forward to is Timbuktu on the closing night, Sunday, June 29. This drama was the most awarded French film of the year taking home Best Film, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay at the César Awards. Directly following the screening of Timbuktu there will be a Closing Night Champagne Party with desserts and live music! For a full schedule of screenings and film descriptions, keep an eye out at Sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org. Prices range anywhere from $11 for single tickets to $95 for full festival access, with numerous packages being available. For more on the venue, visit Crestsacramento.com.
