Welcome to French Class at the Alliance Française  !

Back to School - Friendship

A series of 6 short films based on literary adaptations

Ages 3 and up

This collection of short films is dedicated to poetry and has been a breeding ground for new animation talent for the past 10 years. On the theme of friendship this is an opportunity to discover six new animation talents from the best French animation schools and a host of different perspectives on poetry, here from a children's perspective.
