Francophone Film Festival: 'Gagarine'

The annual Francophone Film Festival at Augustana will screen a film each Thursday from Feb. 16-March 16.

First up is "Gagarine'," a 2020 drama that centers around Cité Gagarine, a housing project south of Paris, where the film was shot right before its demolition. A 16-year-old boy living there protests the planned demolition of the community.

The film was selected for the 2020 Cannes Film Festival and nominated for the European Discovery at the 33rd European Film Awards.

Runtime one hour, 38 minutes; for ages 16 and above
