Followed by a post screening discussion with Le Professeur Kevin Elstob! [image: le fils de l'epicier] Featuring gorgeous cinematography of rural France, this comedy-drama is "like taking a vacation to the French countryside" (*Green Cine Daily*). It is summer, and thirty-year-old Antoine is forced to leave the city to return to his family in Provençe. His father is sick, so he must assume the lifestyle he thought he had shed—driving the family grocery cart from hamlet to hamlet, delivering supplies to the few remaining inhabitants. Accompanied by Claire, a friend from Paris whom he has a crush on, Antoine gradually warms up to his experience in the country and his encounters with the villagers, who initially seem stubborn and gruff, but ultimately prove to be funny and endearing. At first distant and callous, Antoine opens up to others and grows helpful and compassionate when he realizes that he has a lot to learn from the people he meets and from his own family. Ultimately, this surprise French box-office hit is about the coming-of-age of a man rediscovering life and love in the countryside. *Watch Trailer here!* <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irQe15YYWgY> $5 CROCKER ART MUSEUM Members $6 College students and youth 17 and younger $8 Nonmembers *REVIEWS*: GRACEFUL.

[FrenchFilmNews] THE GROCER'S SON at the CROCKER ART MUSEUM on THURSDAY MAY 2nd - 7pm!

MORE INFO BELOW**...* [image: French Film News] *June 21-30, 2013 Crest Theatre* * * *"The region's premier film event" Carla Meyer - Sacramento Bee (February 2013)* *JOIN US AT THE CROCKER ART MUSEUM THURSDAY, MAY 2 - 7pm* * * *FOR A SPECIAL SCREENING OF THE GROCER'S SON (LE FILS DE L'EPICIER)* In partnership with the Crocker Art Museum and in celebration of the French landscapes of Gregory Kondos<http://www.crockerartmuseum.org/a-touch-of-blue>, the Sacramento French Film Festival presents an encore screening of our 2008 Audience Award winner, THE GROCER'S SON by Eric Guirado. Followed by a post screening discussion with Le Professeur Kevin Elstob! [image: le fils de l'epicier] Featuring gorgeous cinematography of rural France, this comedy-drama is "like taking a vacation to the French countryside" (*Green Cine Daily*). It is summer, and thirty-year-old Antoine is forced to leave the city to return to his family in Provençe. His father is sick, so he must assume the lifestyle he thought he had shed—driving the family grocery cart from hamlet to hamlet, delivering supplies to the few remaining inhabitants. Accompanied by Claire, a friend from Paris whom he has a crush on, Antoine gradually warms up to his experience in the country and his encounters with the villagers, who initially seem stubborn and gruff, but ultimately prove to be funny and endearing. At first distant and callous, Antoine opens up to others and grows helpful and compassionate when he realizes that he has a lot to learn from the people he meets and from his own family. Ultimately, this surprise French box-office hit is about the coming-of-age of a man rediscovering life and love in the countryside. *Watch Trailer here!* <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irQe15YYWgY> $5 CROCKER ART MUSEUM Members $6 College students and youth 17 and younger $8 Nonmembers *REVIEWS*: GRACEFUL. INFLECTED WITH IMMENSE EMOTION. Michelle Orange - *The Village Voice* [A] small gem of a film. Stephen Holden - *The New York Times* SEDUCTIVE...IRRESISTIBLE...REMARKABLE THROUGHOUT.

Ronnie Scheib - *Variety* Like taking a vacation in the French countryside and meeting people there of whom you grow extraordinarily fond, *The Grocer's Son (Le Fils de l'épicier)* is an unalloyed pleasure, start to finish. *Green Cine Daily* *[image: arts day of giving]* * * *SAVE THE DATE for SACRAMENTO's FIRST "ARTS DAY OF GIVING", APRIL 29!* *If you are considering renewing your support or becoming a supporter of the SFFF and are able to donate online, please remember April 29th, "Arts Day of Giving", and add value to your support!* On April 29th, contributions made through the *Give Local Now*<http://www.givelocalnow.org/>website will be matched.
