Atelier vidéo-club

Each Tuesday, our Video Club meets to watch a short film together and discuss (with some snacks of course)! This activity is meant to be low pressure— simply another space for students to practice understanding and speaking French while discovering French and Francophone cinema.

The first meeting’s theme was love, where we watched the animation “Les belles cicatrices” by Raphaël Jouzeau. The film is part of the 2024 Cannes Festival selection.

The students discussed the meaning of the title, the changing emotions of the film, as well as how the animations symbolized a greater message. Students also discussed the differing cultures of alcohol in France versus the United States.

Our Video Club mixes culture, language, opinion, and expression to encourage students in their growing vocabulary.
