As we approach the 2024 Olympics in Paris, join Francophonie Atlanta, Alliance Française, Villa Albertine and the Consulates General of Belgium, Switzerland, and France for an evening of francophone short films on the subject of sport. We will be screening a selection of 3 short films from French-speaking countries: Un Bon Garçon (Belgium), Entre Chiens et Loups (Switzerland), and Les Roses et les bleus (France).

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.

Les Roses et les bleus (France)

Les Roses et les bleus | France | 2022 | 22min | Documentary. In French, with English subtitles.

SYNOPSIS: Through their locker room chats, training sessions, and the balance they find between coquettish touches and muddied knees, three teenage rugby girls question their own prejudices and those of their social circles toward female and male attributes in our society.

Un Bon Garçon (Belgium)

Un Bon Garçon | Belgium | 2023 | 19min | Drama. In French, with English subtitles.

SYNOPSIS: Maxime is 16. A promising swimmer, he is about to enter a sport study program. One afternoon, the police interrupts a training session to question his coach, who has been accused of sexual abuse by one of the club’s young swimmers. These accusations will crack the armour of silence that Max has built to survive the abuse he himself suffered years earlier.

Entre Chiens et Loups (Switzerland)

Entre Chiens et Loups | Switzerland | 2022 | 20min | Documentary. In French, with English subtitles.

SYNOPSIS: The film follows the 60+ senior team of FC Lausanne Sport. Beyond the dimension of football, the film tries to tell their relationship to the body and their passion that push them to continue playing despite their ages.
