Upcoming Events

There are some exciting activities going on this week for all you francophiles out there. First is the French Club Soirée Cinéma. The fun begins at 6 in JFSB B003 (the FLAC), when you can sign up for Le Club and enjoy fresh popcorn and punch; the movie starts at 7:05 in B002. The event is free to members of Le Club.

What movie you ask? Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain! (click here to see the trailer); it has been edited for a BYU audience. Amélie features an exquisite score by Yann Tiersen, stunning cinematography and direction by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and of course the lovely Audrey Tautou as Amélie herself. Amélie Poulain just might change your life.




This weekend at the Grand Theatre in Salt Lake City the Red Rock Hot Club is performing some gypsy swing (also known as jazz manouche; click to hear a sample). It might sound familiar to anyone who has seen Triplets of Belleville. Click here for details and directions.
