WELCOME
Welcome on the website of the FRench Association. If you are curious about the French culture or want to enjoy the French touch either in IIT or in Chicago, this website is for you!
Our next event is the show of the French movie "Amelie" (with the support of Union Board). It will be held in the MTCC Auditorium on Wednesday, April 30th, at 9:15pm.
"Amelie is a shy young woman who has a love of life’s small pleasures. While she takes joy in the slightest things in life she is still looking for love as well as the course her life should take. Her slightly dysfunctional family have fostered her tentative interaction with her neighbors as well as the customers of the Parisian restaurant where she waitresses. When she successfully tracks down the owner of a box of boyhood treasures that she found in her house she begins to believe she might have the power to influence more of the people around her. This fairy-tale style film follows the heroine until she finds love and her place in life even though everyone around her has always underestimated her."
"Amelie" won best film at the European Film Awards; it won four Cesar Awards (including Best Film and Best Director), two BAFTA Awards (including Best Original Screenplay), and was nominated for five Academy Awards.
