Alliance Française Gainesville

Fete d'Hiver
2020-12-20 16:30 - 18:30 UTC | Zoom
This Zoom party gathers us around our very own Haydee Britton (AFG’s Vice President) and her Congolese protégés, originally street kids, now fondly known as “Les petits okapis.” When working with the UN in Kinshasa, DRC, Haydee was shocked at seeing barefoot orphaned children sleeping in a car shed. She offered to subsidize their uniforms and supplies if they would go to school. Decades later, several have graduated college, found life-sustaining employment selling eggs, and themselves adopted a second generation of “little okapis.”
This presentation will be mostly in French, but the Q & A can be a joyful mixture of French and English!

We will be showing the 2017 film Back to Burgundy, originally Ce qui
nous lie. IMDB describes the movie as “three siblings reunite at
their home in picturesque Burgundy to save the family vineyard in this
tender tale of a new generation finding its own unique blend.” The
film is by acclaimed director Cédric Klapisch (L’auberge espagnole).
The theater at the Windsor seats 40. The film will begin promptly at
2:00 PM. We will take an intermission at 3:00 pm and start the wine
tasting program with sommelier, Marc Moulinneuf. He will be happy to
answer questions you may have from viewing the film.
Parking is available at the Windsor. Additional parking can be found
in the adjacent shopping strip.
