Join us on July 9 for a free screening of Love Affair(s), presented as part of Summer Screenings by the Chicago International Film Festival. Hailed in France for its elegant storytelling, the film received 13 César Award nominations in 2020—including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay—and won the Lumière Award for Best Film.
The Chicago International Film Festival, in collaboration with the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and its consular and cultural partners, brings back Summer Screenings—a free weekly film series. This year, the program explores the theme of love through a curated selection of films from around the world.
LOVE AFFAIR(S) (Les choses qu’on dit, les choses qu’on fait)
Dir. Emmanuel Mouret (France, 2020 , 122 mins)
Daphne and boyfriend François escape to the idyllic French countryside where they are joined by his lovelorn cousin Maxime. François has to rush back to Paris on business, leaving Daphne and Maxime on their own. The two form an instant, intimate connection, and the first of many overlapping love triangles takes form in this quintessential French comedy-romance. French with english subtitles

In partnership with
Chicago International Film Festival
Cinema/Chicago, the presenting organization of the Chicago International Film Festival, is a year-round non-profit cultural and educational organization dedicated to fostering better communication between people of diverse cultures through the art of film and the moving image. We serve Chicago’s diverse and under-served citizenry by providing access to world-class cinema. We aim to enrich Chicago’s cultural environment by presenting film in contexts that encourage discussion and debate.
The Chicago International Film Festival was started in 1964 by filmmaker and graphic artist Michael Kutza to provide an alternative to the commercial Hollywood movies that dominated the city’s theaters. Seeking out the best in international cinema, the Festival has opened windows to a world of film previously or otherwise unavailable in Chicago. In addition, at more than half of the screenings each year, filmgoers have the rare and exciting chance to meet directors, producers, writers and cast members who introduce their films and hold discussion sessions after the screenings.
