About Lost in Frenchlation
Lost in Frenchlation brings the world of French cinema to the international community in Paris by screening the latest films with English subtitles.

The weekly screenings take place in iconic venues such as cinema L’Arlequin, Club de l’Étoile near Champs-Elysées, Luminor in the Marais district, and L’Entrepôt—an expansive cultural space with art-house screening rooms, a stage area, restaurant, garden, cocktail bar, and art gallery.
