The Alliance Française of Hawai’i is pleased to offer a unique fundraising event through April 21. Register online, and you’ll receive links to three short films, with a total runtime of 63 minutes. All are subtitled in English. These are award-winning short films that have been shown in a few select festivals, Sundance among them. One of the films has just won the César for Best Short Film. These exclusive films are only available for viewing in the U.S. through the Alliance Française. Watch the films at your leisure through April 21, then join us for a live group discussion at 5:00pm Hawaii Standard Time on Thursday, April 22 to talk about the films and their messages! Short films often thought-provoking; note that these films are appropriate for adults (also ok for teens 18 and older).
