Current and Upcoming Events

Here you can find all the events the Alliance Française d'Adélaïde and its partners are currently organising for you.

Palace Films - Cold War

Already a major 2019 Oscar contender, Paweł Pawlikowski directs a ravishing, music-fuelled romance charting two mismatched lovers caught between East and West in 1950s Europe. From Polish villages, to the jazz clubs and streets of Paris, all exquisitely recreated, Cold War is warmly lyrical and impossibly romantic.

Club de Lecture - Marx et la poupée

Wednesday, 19 December - 6:30pm
Alliance Française, 319 Young St, Wayville

For this month's Club de Lecture, the club will be discussing Marx et la poupée by Maryam Madjidi, which tells of Maryam's experience of being in in Paris due to her father's exile during the Iranian Revolution. Through the memories of her early years, Maryam recounts the abandonment of the country, the removal of her family, and the loss of her toys - given to the children of Teheran under the orders of her communist parents.
