Join us with DJ Roger's French PoP! on the Tower Terrazzo

Quentin Dupieux is one of the most prolific and inventive French filmmakers today, and it is “incredible but true” (to quote the title of one of his many films) that the Sacramento French Film Festival has not presented any of his work yet. In 2024, we are making up for it! We are delighted to give you the experience of watching not just one but two Dupieux comedies.

The 23rd Sacramento French Film Festival will open with a “Dupieux Double Feature”: Daaaaaali! (2024, in its U.S. Premiere) and Yannick (2023).

In Sacramento as in Cannes! Only three months after Daaaaaali! was released in France, Dupieux's newest film, Le Deuxième Acte (Second Act), opened the 2024 International Cannes Film Festival, so it feels like the perfect year to let Dupieux guide us into the SFFF weekend, while reviving for one night the lost tradition of the double feature. Both films are a little over one hour long, so it's almost like watching one regular-length movie! The evening also includes a 20-minute intermission and a post screening Q&A with Le Professeur Kevin Elstob.

Join us after the film for a Closing Reception in the lobby of the Tower Theatre!
