For more than two decades, the Alliance Française of Greenwich has presented one of the very best French film festivals in the U.S., with a
selection of the latest French and French-language movies, including many U.S. premieres and award-winning films.
All films are subtitled in English and showcased in professional venues. Guest directors and actors, as well as many other events and
educational projects are part of this annual festival.
Our most recent fesitval ran from January to June 2026, with one in-person screening at The Bruce
Museum
and one online screening per month. Our next season will follow a similar format of one film per month from September 2026 to
June 2027.
Please check back for more info about our upcoming festival!
In the meantime, check out our weekly Cinema club: French Cinémathèque. The group watches films on their own, then gets together
on Zoom each Wednesday evening for a discussion (in English) led by film critic Joe Meyers. Upcoming meetings are listed below.
