MOVIE ... in French

For all cinema lovers who can speak French - or can at least read it - the French Cultural Centre offers an Hommage to the great Egyptian Director Youssef Chahine, who passed away recently, screening one of his gems:


- LE DESTIN (ARE-1997)


Original version in Arabic with French subtitles

Historical Drama, winner of a special price at the Cannes Festival in 1997

Au XIIème siècle en Andalousie, le philosophe Ibn Rushd ‘Averroès’ premier conseiller du calife, est reconnu pour sa sagesse, sa tolérance et son équité. Que va-t-il faire face à des adversaires qui utilisent l’Islam dans leur quête de pouvoir absolu ?


Wednesday, September 10 and Thursday 11 at 9:30 in the Auditorium of the French Cultural Centre (CFCC) 1, Madraset El Huquq El Ferensia, Mounira Tel. 27915800
