The UCF Francophone Film Festival presents a series of screenings of French-language films, including recent releases and a tribute to a landmark of French cinema. Admission is free.
Among the featured titles are Brigitte and Brigitte, about two young women with the same name who move to Paris to study sociology, and Nouvelle Vague, a tribute to cinema that reimagines the making of Jean-Luc Godard's New Wave masterpiece Breathless. Promised Sky follows Marie, an Ivorian pastor and former journalist living in Tunisia who opens her home to three migrant women from different generations, including young Kenza, the sole survivor of a refugee shipwreck, as they form an improvised family.
No Chains No Masters tells of Massamba and his daughter Mati, who devise an escape plan from a colonial plantation. Young Mothers follows five teenage mothers in a maternity shelter in Belgium as they work to build better futures for themselves and their children. Leave One Day centers on Cécile, who is on the verge of opening her dream gourmet restaurant when her father's heart attack forces her to return to her hometown.
