If not, don't worry: subtitles will be provided.
The 9th annual Sacramento French Film Festival Kicks off tonight at 8pm with the 2009 bait-and-switch drama In the Beginning.
Every Saturday and Sunday for the next two weeks, the Crest Theater in downtown Sacramento will be hosting all day screenings of select French feature and short films in its stunning main theater.
The showcase that awaits tonight will lead on with 7 film premieres, a handful of short films and a few classics – including 2 tributes to the late Jean Gabin.
The ending ceremony of the festival will show the 007 satire OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009) – which is, in my opinion, far more clever and funny than Austin Powers.
So far I have only been able to attend the festival on two separate occasions, neither which have disappointed me.
I highly encourage anyone and everyone who has an appreciation for passion, whimsy or at least a sense of humor to take a chance with this experience. May I remind you that this opportunity is only available two weekends out the year? The wonderfully social atmosphere provided each time I go is reason enough for me to return.
$10 regular admission, $9 for students
Weekend passes and specials are available as well for the zealous cinephile (or Francophile).
