If you were saddened that the annual French Film Festival held at Salve Regina was cancelled, you can now attend a Virtual French Film Festival from the comfort of your very home!

Brought to you by Salve Regina’s Department of Modern Languages and McKillop Library, enjoy these classic French films, which are now available to stream from home through the library’s website.

You can find the Virtual French Film Festival online at McKillop Library’s website. The library also has a selection of e-books on the topic of French cinema, which may be read online or downloaded for your convenience.

For access to the films and books, you must sign in with your Salve Regina credentials.

The four French films are listed here as a sample of what you can expect to enjoy when you visit the Virtual French Film Festival online experience.

Au Revoirs Les Enfants/ Goodbye Children

Au Revoir Les Enfants tells a heartbreaking story of friendship and devastating loss concerning two boys living in Nazi-occupied France. Based on events from writer-director Malle’s own childhood, the film is a subtle, precisely observed tale of courage, cowardice, and tragic awakening.

Danton

Gérard Depardieu and Wojciech Pszoniak star in Andrzej Wajda’s powerful, intimate depiction of the ideological clash between the earthy, man-of-the-people Georges Danton and icy Jacobin extremist Maximilien Robespierre, both key figures of the French Revolution.

Les Parapluies de Cherbourg / The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

An angelically beautiful Catherine Deneuve was launched to stardom by this dazzling musical from Jacques Demy. Exquisitely designed in a kaleidoscope of colors and told entirely through the lilting songs of the great composer Michel Legrand, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of the most revered and unorthodox movie musicals of all time.

La Haine = Hate

Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with La Haine, a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France, specifically the low-income banlieue districts on Paris’s outskirts. A work of tough beauty, La Haine is a landmark of contemporary French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis.

Each Friday, SALVEtoday will provide fun ideas and experiences to encourage and uplift the University community during this time of remote living and learning. #salvesgotthis #funfridays
