Film Screenings

Starting from April, schools and Alliances françaises are encouraged to utilize audiovisual resources in order to arrange film screenings for young French learners across the United States, regardless of whether they are bilingual or learning French as a World Language. Learn more below about the featured films : Athleticus and Ex Æquo and the process to acquire access codes. 

Athleticus (DNL/ Bilingual Programs)

Synopsis: The creatures of Athleticus display their distinct personalities and unique anatomical features as they engage in a variety of sports, including table tennis, fixed bar, bobsleigh, curling, skateboarding, breakdancing, diving, and synchronized swimming. This results in amusing or poetic scenarios, consistently filled with eccentricity. The following animated film is made possible thanks to the partnership between the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and our partnership with the Institut français Cinéma. Pedagogical Lesson Plans are availble HERE.

Ex Æquo (World language Programs) 

Synopsis: Experience ten episodes that present compelling narratives of professional athletes challenging discrimination rooted in factors such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. These stories bring to the forefront the voices of individuals asserting their right to be treated equally and stand on the podium without any filters or hierarchical distinctions. The web series Ex Æquo, about inclusion and equality in the world of sports, is the result of a cooperation with IF Digital. The ten episodes present different Olympic and Paralympic figures: you can discover their journey and their fight against discrimination based on race, gender, disability, or sexual orientation.
