    Half-brothers Noah and Gilead attend their archeologist fathers funeral and, after recounting and comparing each others misfortunes, become convinced that their misery is caused by a curse upon their father and his descendants resulting from the fathers theft of theHoly Grail. Their solution is to embark on a quest for the Grail and return it to the location from which it was dis-

    turbed and removed by their father.

    After having broken up with his girl-friend and left his job, Simon has come back to his small hometown in the countryside, where he meets up again with his old friend Julien. The two thir-ty-year-old, unemployed and idle men decide to reinvest in an old dream from their teenage years: hitting the road for an adventurous journey. They buy a huge motor-home, and set out to ex-

    plore themselves...

    Bonjour Readers,The Librarys mission is to keep the collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations. The AF Library provides a platform to access the French Literary world with its rich collection of books and audio visual resources like CDs, DVDs etc. The AF library also provides an opportunity to French learners of improving upon their language skills.

    The Quebec film industry began to blossom since 1943.

    Canadian counterpart.

    From the Quebec Literature Section, we bring to you some good films of a variety of genres in DVDs.

    The World Music Day also known as Fte de la Musique was a music festival, which began in France in 1982. French Minister of Culture Jack Lang conceived the idea in 1981. Antakshari is a game where the first singer has to sing two complete lines and then s/he may stop at the end of those or following lines. The last Hindi letter of the last word sung is then used by the next singer to sing another song, starting with that letter. Experience the fun of Antakshari while celebrating music!

    Since it has only been a week since I started learning French, I am writing in English, but at the amazing pace and the fluidity with which we are being taught French I am sure in the next edition of Dcouvrir I will write in French. A seemingly difficult language, French is much easier to learn at Alliance and also so much fun! Being a crash course student, I have two professors and both of them are very supportive and nice. Above all, they teach really well.

    Alliance Franaise is a great platform to learn French in India. It is not only about learning French but experiencing & inculcating the french culture as well.

  • Every year, Campus France in India, in association with Alliance Franaises in India organizes a Pre-Departure orientation session for students who will be pursuing their training in France the coming academic year along with a scholarship award ceremony inaugurated by the Ambassador of France to India. This half-day programme covers the various aspects relevant to those leaving for France, from the administrative procedures to be completed on their arrival in France to teaching methods used in French educational institutions, through inter-cultural aspects and other relevant matters such as the French Government Scholarship programmes. Amongst the three major events organized by the Campus France Network in India, each edition gathers representatives of the French institutional and entrepreneurial world based in the country.

    To register for the Pre-departure Session, please send an email to: [email protected]
