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.

Terms & Conditions

All classes open upon enrollment. The Alliance Française de Philadelphie reserves the right to cancel classes and change teachers if necessary without advanced notice. Courses are typically canceled due to insufficient enrollment or unavailability of a teacher. If your course is canceled, you will be notified by telephone or email and given the option to transfer to another class, to receive a tuition credit, or to receive a full refund.

A class with only 3 to 4 students lasts 1.5 hours and a class with 5 students or more lasts 2 hours. If the class only has one or two students, the Alliance Française de Philadelphie may ask students to join a different group.

I understand that to be eligible for a refund, I must contact the office at least 24 hours before the first class. After the first class, only a credit for the next session will be issued (a $30.00 cancellation fee plus $37.50 per class is retained by the Alliance Francaise). No credit after the end of the 3rd week of classes.
