The films are selected for their quality and originality, but also for the themes they address. Family members who wish to attend the screening are welcome! Following the screening, a bilingual workshop linked to the theme of the films allows children to try out their hands at different artistic disciplines while also fostering a creative and sensitive approach to bilingualism. A great opportunity, for a very low price!
