For movie
fans who don’t speak French, going to the cinema in Paris can be a limiting
experience. Do you stick to films made in English, with French subtitles, or do
you brave the screening of a French film, with no English subtitles – hoping
you’ll at least get some of the dialogue?
Happily,
there’s another choice: you can go to the special events of Lost in
Frenchlation – a company that presents recently released French films with
English subtitles, and which now has a partnership with WICE.

At these screenings,
spectators not only get to watch the films, but they also have the opportunity
to meet other movie-goers in a convivial atmosphere. That’s because Lost in
Frenchlation provides an added social component, enabling ex-pats living in
Paris to meet over cocktails after the movie.
Started in
2015 by French and Australian friends, Manon Kerjean and Matthew Bryan, the
initiative was born from the wish to be able to see the same films together.
