This fall at AFS, experience French cinema’s reinvention through the ages, starting with a tour of the French New Wave programmed by Richard Linklater and ending in the cutting edge of francophone cinema with November’s return of New French Cinema Week. In anticipation of his latest film NOUVELLE VAGUE, a love letter to Godard’s BREATHLESS, Linklater curates a selection of New Wave classics that epitomize that period. NOUVELLE VAGUE opens October 31 at AFS Cinema with a special 35mm engagement.
New French Cinema Week, our annual festival of new francophone films, will kick off on November 20, 2025.
