Bastille Day is July 14
American Independence Day is the most significant day for our democracy, as we fought off and eliminated an autocratic monarchy. Most people have learned about this from watching Hamilton, but regardless, we need to know how hard our forefathers worked to create this fragile experiment. But it was the French who bailed us out, with troops, supplies and finances to help us overcome Britain. So, we celebrate their Bastille Day with vigor and respect.
The State Theatre will be your place to do this with a fun dose of French Culture and cuisine (pastries and croissants) with the showing of “Amelie” on the big screen and a very special presentation of “L’Atalante”, directed by Jean Vigo that was released in 1934, the year that the State Theatre opened. So celebrate, Liberte, Egalite and Fraernitie and enjoy. Vive le France.
Amelie – 4 pm
L’Atalante – 1:30 pm 4:30 pm
