Alliance Française de la Jamaïque

🎬 Le Film du mois – Our Last Screening Until September! ✨

Join us for our final Movie Night before the summer break as we present Divertimento, an inspiring and uplifting story based on the life of renowned conductor Zahia Ziouani!

A fitting celebration of music and culture as we continue our June activities and count down to Fête de la Musique. 🎶✨

Zahia Ziouani is 17 years old and dreams of becoming a conductor, while her twin sister Fettouma hopes to become a professional cellist. Together, they are determined to break barriers, make classical music accessible to everyone, and create their own orchestra. Inspired by a true story, Divertimento is a moving celebration of passion, perseverance, and the transformative power of music. 🎼
