To mark Francophonie month, which is celebrated every year around the world in March, Alliance Française de Bangkok features diverse events and activities that aim to promote the French language and bring like-minded people together.
This year, the Franco-Thai cultural centre will work with the Embassy of Switzerland as its main coordinator in curating a rich line-up of virtual events including concerts and documentary and film screenings. Some programmes are organised in partnership with the embassies and delegations of Belgium, Canada, France, Kosovo, Luxembourg, Morocco, Poland and Romania.
Among the highlighted movies are Danton (Friday at 6.30pm), a 1983 drama film by Polish director Andrzej Wajda about Georges Danton, one of the leaders of the French Revolution; and Wallay (Saturday at 4.30pm), about a 13-year-old boy sent from his home in France to live with his uncle in rural Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa.
