November 4 marks the start of National French Week, a celebration organized by the American Association of Teachers of French, to highlight cultures and traditions of the Francophone world and to promote the study of French.
To mark National French Week on campus, the World Languages & Cultures Department is hosting a screening of Girlhood (2014), a film by accomplished French director Céline Sciamma. This coming-of-age story follows the life of Marieme, a Black teenage girl living on the outskirts of Paris, as she navigates challenges in school, at home and with her friends. As with many of Sciamma’s films, Girlhood touches on topics of race, gender and class. The film received high praise when it was released and was nominated for dozens of awards and ultimately, won several including Best Cinematography at the Stockholm International Film Festival.

Film screening was made possible by a JEDI faculty grant.
