The university’s French and cinema programs have joined forces to present the second installment of the Fox French Film Festival this Friday, April 12, in EHS 102.

The festival starts at 7 p.m. with Bienvenue chez les Chtis (“Welcome to the Sticks”), the most successful comedy ever released in France. The film tells the story of Philippe, who has a pleasant life in the south of France and is transferred to the north of France – a region that, according to him, is freezing and where people speak with an unintelligible accent.

The second film of the evening, Indigènes (“Days of Glory”), starts at 9 p.m. Set in World War II, Indigènes follows four North African men who enlist in the French army to liberate that country from Nazi oppression, and to fight French discrimination.

Admission to both films is free, and both are open to the public. Filmgoers will also have the chance to indulge in crêpes, madeleines and other French fare during the intermission between shows.
