20th Anniversary Celebration
November 1–25, 2008

In honor of Florence Gould Hall’s 20th Anniversary, FIAF has created a month-long celebration, reflecting on the excellence in French culture that this legendary venue has brought to New York. The celebrations begin with an exploration of classic animated films and continue throughout the month with a CinémaTuesdays series dedicated to memorable films featuring classic French stars, including Jeanne Moreau, Agnès Varda, and Charlotte Rampling. Additionaly, Opéra Français de New York, featuring conductor Yves Abel, will present the U. S.
