CLOSING NIGHT FILM preceded by an optional reception (separate admission) featuring French, Swiss and Italian food from 6-7 PM at Flora's Wine Bar (located two doors down from the West Newton Cinema). Sign up for the reception here, but don't delay because space is strictly limited to 30 people.
From the team behind Streaker (BWF 2018) comes another side-splitting satire that was an even bigger box office hit in Switzerland! When a referendum in Switzerland leaves the country with French as the only national language, it precipitates a crisis among the German and Italian speakers. Think Woody Allen’s Bananas crossed with The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming!
