[image: French Film News] *JUNE 20-29, 2014 CREST THEATRE* *"The region's premier film event" Carla Meyer - Sacramento Bee (February 2014)* *THE 2014 PROGRAM IS IN!*... [image: Casse tet chinois] Audrey Tautou & Romain Duris in *Chinese Puzzle* The 13th Sacramento French Film Festival will present 12 of the most acclaimed, awarded, and talked about recent Premieres (including many 2014 César –French Academy Awards- winners), three Classics, two Late Night Movies; and plenty of Short Films. Our 2014 film selection is one of our strongest ever. It includes every genre: romance, adventure, drama, comedy, musical comedy, dark comedy (yes it is a comedy year!), thriller, horror, biography, history, fantasy… But what most of these diverse films have in common is the presence of extremely strong and magnificent women characters of all ages and situations! [image: pas son genre] Loïc Corbery & Émilie Dequenne in *Not My Type* Lucas Belvaux’s romance *NOT MY TYPE *(*PAS SON GENRE*), which was just released in France this April, will open the 13th Sacramento French Film Festival. Parisian philosophy professor Clément Le Guern (Loïc Corbery) is sent to teach in the northern town of Arras, and it makes him feel like he’s been sentenced to a year in the sticks… Things get better when he meets Jennifer (Émilie Dequenne, *Rosetta*), a fun and karaoke-loving hairdresser. Everyone knows that opposites attract, but can they sustain a relationship? *Not My Type* is our "coup de coeur" this year and we are very excited to present it as our 2014 opening film. But it's only the first of the 17 marvelous features in our program... *COMPLETE PROGRAM HERE! <http://www.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/program.htm>* (Showtimes TBA soon, stay tuned) *READY TO JUMP INTO THE 2014 SFFF? <http://www.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/2014advance-purchase-order-form…>*Print the advance passes order form here. <http://www.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/2014advance-purchase-order-form…> [image: 9 mois ferme] Sandrine Kiberlain in *9-Month Stretch* SUPPORT YOUR FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL If you think that the SFFF makes Sacramento a better place to live, please donate here. <https://squareup.com/market/sac-french-film-festival/donation> If you love a Festival that brings you every year the newest and best of French cinema (long & short), along with some pretty awesome classics, and fun events too, please donate here. <https://squareup.com/market/sac-french-film-festival/donation> For the laughs, and the tears; for the insights and the challenges, please donate here. <https://squareup.com/market/sac-french-film-festival/donation> Whether you are a sponsor or a passholder, whether you attend every SFFF screening or just a few, whether you only come to the Festival or to our other events throughout the year, you are part of our adventure and appreciate what we do.
