Since the Lumière brothers' invention of the Cinématographe in 1895, France has been a pioneer in the development of the Cinematic
medium and its development as an art form. The AFG has a long history of celebrating this touchstone of French culture through a number of
regularly scheduled programs.

November 4 - The Stranger (2025, François Ozon) - Streaming on: Amazon Prime, Google Play, Fandango, YouTube
In 1938 French Algeria, Meursault drifts through life with quiet detachment until his neighbor Raymond draws him into a series of events
that culminate in a fatal confrontation on a sun-drenched beach. As he stands trial, Meursault's indifference comes to define his fate as
much as his actions. Adapted from the Camus classic.
