The university’s French and cinema programs have joined forces to present the third Fox French Film Festival on concurrent Fridays, April 4 and April 11.
Opening the festival will be Astérix and Obélix Meet Cleopatra, a big-budget box-office comedy about the French comic book heroes created in the 1960s. Their adventures have sold 280 million copies to date in Europe. It shows at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 4, in Hoover 105.
Also that night in the same location, Séraphine will be featured at 9 p.m. This extraordinary French-Belgian biographical film tells the dramatic story of French paintress Séraphine de Senlis, a middle-aged housekeeper in the early 1900s. Untaught and following what she regards as religious inspiration, she finds great appreciation in the beauty found in nature.
Filmgoers will also have the chance to indulge in crêpes and other French fare during the intermission between the shows. There is no admission charge and are open to all.
Two different films, Les Choristes (The Chorus) and Des Dieux et des Hommes (Of God and Men), will be shown on April 11. Details to follow.

Gillette invites his fellow cast members to his home to celebrate the holidays. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in Gillette’s isolated Connecticut castle quickly turn dangerous.
