Single Ticket: $15. Advance Sales are now open! <https://virtual.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/film/the-abcs-of-love/>*→ WATCH TRAILER HERE*. <https://virtual.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/film/the-abcs-of-love/> [image: parents d'eleves] Thirty-year-old Vincent (Vincent Dedienne) is a laid-back man-child who babysits animals for a living. His latest job is different – he is to take care of a nine-year-old human boy, Bart, who has just moved into the building. Overworked and single, Bart’s mom relies on Vincent for everything concerning her son, including attending the parent-teacher conference. Bart is anxious to make friends at his new school. He is worried kids won’t like him because he doesn’t have a father, so he decides to tell people that Vincent is his dad. Initially reluctant, Vincent changes his mind after falling in love with his “son’s” attractive young teacher, Nora (Camélia Jordana). To spend as much time with her as possible, he becomes the most devoted dad a son could hope for and, in the process, infiltrates a mysterious tribe with its own codes and language: the parents! Soon, Vincent, with his immature, spontaneous, and carefree behavior, has charmed the kids and (most of) the parents! But if Vincent is serious about Nora, he must find a way to backtrack on the huge “tiny little lie” he’s gotten himself into, without hurting Bart, whom he has learned to love almost like a dad… Let’s celebrate the end of this unusual school year with a sweet and funny comedy about how school opens our minds and brings us together. Cheers to all the teachers! *NEW RELEASE ON VIRTUAL CINEMA!* [image: Spring Blossom] *COMING UP on WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 2021SPRING BLOSSOM <https://www.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/movie2020_virtual_cinema.htm>* In *Spring Blossom* (*Seize Printemps*), a 16-year-old girl (played by director Suzanne Lindon) who is bored with her peers, becomes involved with an older man. *Spring Blossom* is one of those rare dramas about teenage life actually written by a teenager, which gives it a welcome authenticity. Lindon -who is the daughter of famous French actors, frequently featured at the Sacramento French Film Festival, Vincent Lindon and Sandrine Kiberlain- wrote the screenplay when she was 15 and directed the film when she was 20. *→ WATCH TRAILER HERE*. <https://youtu.be/vOIccMRc8L8> *FIND OUR COMPLETE VIRTUAL CINEMA OFFERINGS HERE!* <https://www.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/movie2020_virtual_cinema.htm> *Your rental supports the Sacramento French Film Festival*. *20th SACRAMENTO FRENCH FILM FESTIVALJUNE 18-27, 2021VIRTUAL & IN-THEATERS* Many uncertainties are still ahead of us, but we are happy to announce that if the situation evolves as planned, the 20th Sacramento French Film Festival will be a hybrid event. *The 2021 edition of the SFFF will be mostly virtual +we have confirmed two in-person screenings,and are working on an additional one!* We are excited to welcome you back safely to theaters this June.

LITTLE GIRL <https://virtual.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org/film/little-girl/> by Sébastien Lifshitz An award-winning and crowd pleaser documentary, documenting the touching story of eight-year-old transgender girl Sasha and her loving family as they work towards her acceptance by her community. *+ Join us on a Transatlantic Zoom Discussion with Director Sebastien Lifshitz on Sunday, May 2 @ Noon PDT.* [image: Petite Fille] [image: Lifshitz] Even though she was born a boy, Sasha has always known she was a little girl.
