Educational Outreach

The Alliance Française French Film Festival prides itself on producing guides pédagogogiques for teachers to include as a unit of work before viewing the movies as part of the Education Outreach Programme which the Association Française de Hawke's Bay promotes among Hawke's Bay French teachers.
In our increasingly globalised world, learning languages is important for many reasons – it expands cultural horizons, breaks down barriers and increases opportunities for young people interested in living or working abroad. In addition, studies have shown that learning a foreign language can improve memory, brain power and use of English. And what better medium than film to learn a language?

Event Cinemas, Havelock North is the local host of the Alliance Française Film Festival in Joll Road in Havelock North. (see map at the bottom of this page)

2019 OUTREACH FILMS AND GUIDES

ASTÉRIX, LE SECRET DE LA POTION MAGIQUE: ASTERIX: THE SECRET OF THE MAGIC POTION
2018 - 85 mins - PG
On the 60th anniversary in 2019 of Goscinny and Uderzo’s much-adored comic book series – which has been translated into more than 100 languages – this latest big-screen adventure sees Astérix (voiced by Christian Clavier), Obélix (voiced by Guillaume Briat) and a cast of old favourites go on the hunt for a talented druid to entrust a secret recipe.

To the spirit of the original, this film going at 300km/h will delight the young as well as the old, a bit like a Pixar à la française."
