The San Francisco Film Society presents French Cinema Now.
The weeklong festival brings the most significant new work from international francophone cinema to San Francisco. From the comedic delights of opening night’s Camille Rewinds (Best Screenplay at Cannes Film Festival), Mobile Home, and My Worst Nightmare to more dramatic portraits of modern life such as Sister (Switzerland’s official Oscar submission; watch the trailer below) and Donoma (Louis Delluc Prize Winner), there is something for Francophiles of all flavors. Gallic stars like Isabelle Huppert, Léa Seydoux and Pierre Richard—along with celebrated American actors Jane Fonda and Gillian Anderson notably appearing in French-language roles—come together with directors including Ursula Meier (will be in attendance for Sister), Anne Fontaine, Noémie Lvovsky and newcomer Djinn Carrénard to present compelling stories of aging gracefully, sibling relationships and the difficulties encountered when trying to leave home.

Wednesday, October 24 thru Tuesday, October 30 @ Landmark’s Embarcadero Center, One Embarcadero, SF
