Monday, Oct. 2, “Quand on a 17 ans” Being 17 (Introduced by Cathy Yandell)
Directed by André Téchiné (LGBT drama from France, 2016, 116 min.)
This memorable depiction of the trials and triumphs of coming of age—and coming out—follows the story of seventeen-year-old Damien, the son of a deployed solider whose mother takes in the bully who terrorizes him at school when the bully’s own mother falls ill.
The Tournées French Film Festival at Carleton College is made possible with the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the French Ministry of Culture (CNC). For more information, including trailers of the featured films, visit www.face-foundation.org/tournees/.

Screenings are free and open to the public; for more information, including disability accommodations, call (507) 222-4389.
