Join us at The American French Film Festival for the U.S. Premiere of FORSAKEN (L’Abandon), followed by a conversation with writer/director Vincent Garenq.
Presented Out of Competition at Cannes, this powerful drama retraces the eleven days leading up to the murder of French teacher Samuel Paty. Starring Antoine Reinartz and Emmanuelle Bercot, the film examines how a classroom lesson on freedom of expression became the target of a devastating campaign of misinformation and online outrage.
Presented in association with Cinando, Studio TF1, France Télévisions, and The Mill.
📅 Thursday, November 5, at 7:30 PM
📍 DGA Theater Complex, Los Angeles
In French with English subtitles.

THE AMERICAN DREAM — Closing Film
Jean-Pascal Zadi and Raphaël Quenard star in the unlikely true story of two French agents who dreamed of making it in the NBA.
THE BETTER ME

BLAISE
An animated comedy about a family desperate to fit in—with the voices of Léa Drucker and Jacques Gamblin.
THE ELECTRIC KISS
Pio Marmaï, Anaïs Demoustier, and Gilles Lellouche in a romantic comedy involving a painter, a fake séance, and a deception that takes on a life of its own.
JUST AN ILLUSION

After the screening, director and DGA member Louis Leterrier moderated a Q&A with Salvadori. Thank you to both filmmakers for joining us and to everyone who stayed for the conversation!

Day 3 of our high school screenings at TAFFF 🎬
When the credits rolled on IN WAVES, it was the students’ turn to ask the questions. Screenwriter Fanny Burdino joined us for a post-screening Q&A, giving our young audience a chance to hear from one of the people who helped bring the story to the screen.
Thank you, Fanny, for spending part of your festival week with us, and thank you to the students who raised their hands and kept the conversation going!
