See these films: The Francophone Film Festival at the MFA

 

 A Screaming Man (2010)

Just as English means more than England, French means more than France, as can be seen in the Museum of Fine Arts' Francophone Film Festival. One such Francophone country is the African nation of Chad, the setting for A Screaming Man (2010), Saleh Haroun's tale of a hotel pool attendant struggling for survival during a civil war.

Get Francophiled at the MFA, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston | Thursday, March 17: Crying Out @ 3:30 pm; Screaming Man @ 8 pm | $10; $8 students, seniors | 800.440.6975 or mfa.org/programs/film
