The American French Film Festival

60+ French films and series premieres at the DGA Theater Complex followed by Q&As with the French filmmakers, Nov. 3 - Nov. 8, including:

• All About Corinne on Fri., Nov. 6. Isabelle Huppert plays a background actor with main-character energy. She befriends Sandrine Kiberlain and starts manifesting. Hard. Followed by a Q&A with director Marc Fitoussi. U.S. Premiere.
   

• In Waves on Tue., Nov. 3, Opening night, Los Angeles premiere. AJ draws. Kristen surfs. She teaches him to stand on the water. Then the tide turns, and he has to learn the harder thing: how to keep loving someone the ocean is taking back. A first love told in color, light and salt, from AJ Dungo’s graphic memoir. It’s the first animated film ever to open TAFFF. Q&A with AJ Dungo, Phuong Mai Nguyen and Stephanie Hsu.
   

• The Electric Kiss on Wed., Nov. 4. Paris, 1928. A painter in mourning fakes a séance, and the lie goes viral before viral existed. Fake it till you make it, Jazz Age edition. Q&A with director Pierre Salvadori. L.A. premiere.
   

• De Gaulle, Part I: Resistance & Part II: Liberty on Sat., Nov. 7, back-to-back, first U.S. screening. One general, no army, a borrowed BBC mic. It turns out a resistance is mostly meetings, egos and a group chat that won’t agree. Director Antonin Baudry is scheduled to attend.
   

• A Good Little Soldier on Sat., Nov. 7, West Coast premiere. The new head of HR learns that “we’re a family here” is a threat. Severance without the elevator. Venice Best Screenplay. Q&A with writer Coralie Amedeo.
