2 8 -2 9 Dear members, dear friends of Alliance,
MEET OUR STUDENTS
Clap! Just like the start of a film festival! We will hear this clap numerous times in the weeks to
30 come. To begin, at the first Monaco Film Festival in Singapore mid- October, then at our first
F R ENC H F R IDAY partnership with the Perspectives Film Festival and finally, of course, at our first oops, no, the
33rd edition of the French Film Festival! Many firsts here in the city state, including the premiere
31 brought to Singapore by Shaw Organisation, with the highlight and the most recent Ce qui nous lie ,
F R ENC H GAMES
the “last Klapisch” as we say in Paris. However, we will not forget his first masterpieces in our
retrospective. In short, Klapisch is the theme this autumn at the Alliance and it’s the wine season-
32-3 3
P OST EVENTS perfect, as we pay tribute to his latest film and to a terroir with a photography exhibition in
la galerie . Not so fast! This is just a glimpse of this film festival organised with the French Embassy
and thanks to the continuous support of our French and Singapore partners, friends of cinema.
Clap! We will continue again in January, but shhh… We won’t spoil the surprise just yet…
To learn the French language, c’est pas du cinema ! But it is a true pleasure! Time to finish the year
Cover illust rat ion by Dian Amirah in style and join one of our classes. There is something for everyone: from thematic classes to exam
preparation classes or even holiday camps for the young ones. Oui, it is très chic and trendy to
speak French!
Speaking of being chic, we celebrate it in our own way, in partnership with Digital Fashion Week,
with something very Frenchy: fashion. Before the year-end festivities, December will host its artisan
week, artisans… yes, but luxury artisans and their know-how with art.
