French Films with English Subtitles in Paris

I have participated in several events and screenings organized by Lost in Frenchlation, and I have always had a great time there! They work with a wide selection of independent cinemas, and it is an excellent way to meet other English speakers if you have just arrived in Paris or if you are just passing through.

Lost in Frenchlation’s screening of La Petite Dernière at the Luminor on June 11th was a perfect night out. The film club makes French cinema fun and easy to enjoy, even if your French isn’t fluent—thanks to the English subtitles. The crowd was a great mix of people, and the vibe was super welcoming. If you’re in Paris and love films, this is a must. Highly recommend!

A fun and accessible way to experience French cinema and meet people from different backgrounds! I appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and diverse selection of films. Definitely recommend to anyone in Paris, anglophone or francophone, looking for a unique night out.

I went here and it was so fun! 10/10 would recommend

Thanks to the founder of Lost in Frenchlation: Manon Kerjean, cinephiles (who are not completely fluent in French) are able to enjoy French cinema with English subtitles. I have lost count of how many incredible films I’ve seen in the past 10 years. Manon Kerjean shows the most cutting edge, contemporary, thought provoking films at independent cinemas in Paris. Often there are Q and A sessions after the film with the director and sometimes with the actors starring in the films. I’ve also enjoyed meeting fascinating people at the social event before the screening. If you’re in Paris you should definitely attend a Lost in Frenchlation screening.

When I moved to Paris with my mom, we loved watching movies, but it was hard for her to enjoy French films on the big screen without subtitles. Then, we discovered Lost in Frenchlation, and we’ve been going ever since! It’s an amazing initiative that lets foreigners experience wonderful French cinema with English subtitles, right here in the capital of cinema—Paris.

This was definitely a 5. The movie was fantastic and the subtitles were easy to read from the last row. The acting and story were superb

Honestly, such a cool way to experience French movies — they make it super easy to enjoy great films even if your French isn’t perfect. The vibe at the screenings is always friendly and fun, and you meet people from all over.

You get to hang out with both locals and expats before the screening, and everyone’s just chatting over drinks. The hosts make you feel really welcome, and it’s such a fun way to experience French cinema, even if you’re not fluent. Definitely recommend it if you’re in Paris and want to do something a bit different from the usual tourist stuff!

I had the best time watching Connemara at the Cinema du Pantheon this week. The cinema itself was so cool, and right in the heart of Paris. I met people just like me before the screening -- other young students who just moved here and are looking for community -- and loved getting to know them before the film. The film was an amazing way to experience French culture -- and learn French -- in the city where cinema was born! Watching the film with new friends made it more meaningful, and afterward we hung around, breaking it down and swapping thoughts. What a wonderful way to integrate into Parisian life and meet new people!
