What does France look like in the movies? Paris, the Eiffel Tower, croissants and berets … But can France really be reduced to these familiar images?
During the autumn holidays, Fransk kulturhus invites young people aged 11 and over to enjoy a creative and entertaining day exploring cinema, images and cultural stereotypes.
See films from a new perspective
Through film clips, games and group activities, you will go in search of familiar stereotypes about France and the French.
Why do the same images appear so often? What picture of France do films present to us? And how can we learn to examine these representations with both humour and a critical eye?
You will be able to observe, ask questions, express your ideas and talk with the other participants. There will be no long theoretical lessons: the day is all about discovering, participating and having fun together.
Create your own movie poster
After exploring these images, it will be time to get creative!
You will imagine your own vision of France and design an original movie poster to take home at the end of the day. You can play with the visual language of cinema, challenge familiar stereotypes and let your imagination run free.
A fun and creative day
The day will take place mainly in French, in a relaxed, lively and supportive atmosphere. The activities will help participants develop their vocabulary and spoken French naturally while encouraging imagination, creativity and cooperation.
Everyone can participate at their own pace. English may also be used when necessary, ensuring that language is never a barrier to understanding, expressing ideas or being creative.
The workshop is also a wonderful opportunity to meet other young people, work in groups and share an enjoyable experience with others who are interested in cinema.
For parents
This workshop gives young people the opportunity to practise French in a supervised, welcoming and pressure-free environment. The day combines film clips, games, conversations, group work and individual creative activities.
There will be a lunch break in the middle of the day. Weather and conditions permitting, participants will also spend some time outdoors to get some fresh air, move around and relax.
Join us on 30 September
The workshop “France on Film: From Clichés to Your Own Poster” will take place on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Fransk kulturhus. It is open to young people aged 11 and over.
Places are limited, and advance registration is required.
