Festival de la Francophonie • Film Screening: Tales of the Francophone Midwest

This intense month of Francophonie is drawing to a close. You’ve danced, dreamed, developed your taste buds, sung and opened your eyes wide to the cultural wonders of different countries. To close this book of exploration, let’s return to the United States, to the land of your birth or adoption, and discover together its own Francophonie.

Come close the Francophonie Festival with us this Tuesday with the screeening of a series of animated movies, directed by Brian HAWKINS about Missouri French folktales & a documentary directed by André GLADU about the Francophone community of La Vieille Mine (Old Mines, MO).

This family-friendly event will be closed by the degustation of bouillon, a traditional Missouri French dish.

Children’s activities will be organized during the screening of these short films.
