Join the Alliance Française de Philadelphie, partner of the French Film Series at the AMBLER THEATER !

The French Film Series is a partnership between the Alliance Francaise de Philadelphie and Renew Theaters with the aim to select and propose French and francophone films to a wider audience in Ambler and Doylestown Theater. This initiative is supported by the Vesta Fund, based in the Gwynedd valley in Pennsylvania.

- a Family Friendly event around a film
- a Cult French film
....

This May, we will be screening BARDOT  (Le film documentaire), honoring the French Icon who passed away on December, 28,  2025 at the age of 91.
