Next
up, French children’s literature
author Françoise Guillaumond
will read from her book Poulette
Crevette. This book tells the story of a chicken unlike
any other, who doesn’t talk, and who struggles since the moment it was
born with finding its place in the chicken coop. It is a tale which
allows us to address questions of disabilities
and differences
between children as well as discussing parenthood.

Alliance Française
Dublin is taking part in a worldwide screening of I Am Not Your
Negro by Raoul Peck, organised by the International Literature Festival Berlin
to celebrate the 72nd
Anniversary of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
This French co-producton, based on American
writer and activist James Baldwin’s unfinished memoirs,
illuminates the continuation of racism
while documenting the resistance
against it, which is also articulated through art. Haitian director Raoul Peck's
documentary emphasizes our responsibility
to process the history of colonisation
and
racism in great detail.
Admission free but booking is required.

The French
Embassy and the Alliance
Française network in Ireland are delighted to invite you and
your family to a free online Christmas Screening in company
of one of the most popular French characters: Astérix.
Box-Office smash hit Astérix – Le
Domaine des Dieux (Asterix and Obelix: Mansion of
the Gods, 2014),
was the first 3D
computer- animated adaptation
of the comic book series, expertly directed by cult humorist Alexandre Astier (Kaamelott) and
Pixar animator Louis
Clichy (Up,
WALL-E).
Perfect to share some precious family time but
also to pay tribute
to Astérix co-creator Albert
Uderzo who passed away earlier this year. | | | | |
