FILM SCREENINGS AT ALLIANCE FRANCAISE - December 2020
Alliance Française in Dubai will wrap up this year’s season of film screenings with its usual 3 films per week, but only until December 19. There’s also a Children Film Festival taking place between December 11-13 with multiple film screenings and activities all day.
I’ve listed the films and schedules below. You can find more details here, https://www.afdubai.org/cineclub .
The screenings are free for Alliance Française students, AED 25 for Alliance Française members and AED 35 for non-members. You can buy tickets from here, and here’s the location map.
All the films include English subtitles except where it’s mentioned otherwise.
Mia Hansen-Løve’s Eden is one of my favourite films, so I strongly recommend you don’t miss it if you’ve never seen it before.
