What we’re about
If you love the French language, this group is for you!
Once a month, French speakers and French language lovers gather at the French Institute of Michigan, in Farmington hills to talk about a French movie, sip some wine and share their thoughts about the movie.
Right now please note the meetings are online on zoom! Watch the movie at your convenience before the meeting and then join everyone to discuss it !
This meetup is for all levels of French and the movies all have English subtitles. This is a nice way to start the weekend and to practice your French in a very friendly environment.

See all- Movie night "Debout les femmes" Thursday May 16th @6pm (free)30800 Telegraph Rd suite 2925, Bingham Farms, MI
Join us Thursday May 16th @6pm for the screening of "Debout les femmes" a 2021 documentary directed by Gilles Perret et François Ruffin
Since the cult success of "Merci Patron!:", activist/journalist/filmmaker François Ruffin has become an MP. Here, he attempts to table a law aimed at upholding the rights of what in Quebec are known as caregivers, and shows us in passing how a law whose need seems patently obvious is put together, debated, voted on and . . . dies on the battleground of French politics. A stirring documentary about social injustice that somehow manages to make us bust a gut laughing as we rage with indignation. And also cry at the beauty of it all, thanks to the director’s humanist sensibility and a deft play between reality and fiction
