Thank you for your patience, we are finalizing the 2016 SFFF line-up this week and we'll announce our 15th program very soon.* *To tide you over, here is the teaser of our 2016 poster, and some exciting announcements...* [image: 1025 9th Street] *SO, WHAT'S NEW WITH THE 2016 SFFF?* *Our Opening Night -Friday, June 17- will have a new format!We will be presenting 3 films at the Esquire IMAX Theatre, on Sunday, June 19.* * _____ 1/ FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 2016: OPENING NIGHT! _____* To celebrate our 15th anniversary in style we made *a few changes to the Opening Night order of events.* This year, *the Opening Film will precede the reception and start at 7pm, at the Crest Theatre.* As in the past, the opening Film can be attended without the Reception. * The Opening Reception will begin after the film (around 9pm) in the gorgeous Silver Room, located a block away from the Crest Theatre at 1025 9th Street, at the corner of K Street (next to Estelle's Patisserie).* [image: 1025 9th Street] *______ FRIDAY, JUNE 17 - 7pm - CREST THEATRE ______ OPENING FILM: FATIMA by Philippe Faucon* *We are proud to announce that FATIMA <http://www.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/movie2016_fatima.htm>, Winner of the 2016 César for BEST FRENCH FILM of the YEAR, will open the 15th Sacramento French Film Festival.* Multiculturalism and the immigrant experience are on the minds of French filmmakers this year, as the SFFF 2016 line-up will attest. For writer/director Philippe Faucon, it has been a career-defining theme. His latest film, *Fatima*, depicts the everyday struggles, tensions and humiliations, but also the moments of joy and fraternity, affecting two generations of immigrant women, trying to find their place in French society. *Fatima* is a joyful and kind hearted celebration of their fortitude. *Find more about the film here!* <http://www.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/movie2016_fatima.htm> [image: fatima] <http://www.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/movie2016_fatima.htm> Soria Zeroual, Zita Hanrot & Kenza Noah Aïche in FATIMA by Philippe Faucon *______ FRIDAY, JUNE 17 - 9pm - SILVER ROOM ______ OPENING RECEPTION* *Our 15th Anniversary Reception will be more festive and magnificent than ever!* *Immediately after the screening of Fatima <http://www.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/movie2016_fatima.htm>, join us in the Silver Room, part of the Capitol Plaza Ballrooms (1025 9th Street, at the corner of K Street), to enjoy a fun French evening of food, drinks, and dancing!* *Open Bar* (Wine & Bubbly by Barefoot, Beer, Lillet, Pastis cocktails, Water by Perrier, & Café by Coffee Works) *Appetizers and Desserts* (by Café Rolle, Coffee Works, Dos Coyotes, Hawks Public House, Kru, The Melting Pot, Morants, Old Fashioned Sausage Kitchen, Shady Lady Saloon & Veg.) *DJ Roger Carpio and guests will provide the soundtrack for the evening.* *Attendance is limited.
