“Souleymane’s Story”

Landmark Bethesda Row Theatre

Movie begins promptly at 10:00am

7235 Woodmont Ave, Bethesda

Racing through the streets of Paris, making food deliveries on his bicycle, Guinean immigrant Souleymane (Abou Sangare) is struggling to stay afloat. In two days, he has to report for an asylum application interview, where he must plead his case to an immigration officer (Nina Meurisse) who will determine his future in France. As he rides, he repeats his story. Yet Souleymane is not ready.

Boris Lojkine’s urgent, propulsive third feature never leaves Souleymane’s side in a deeply affecting account of the daily trials and uncertain futures faced by migrants in France and around the world.

Souleymane’s Story is 1 hour 33 minutes long and is in French with English subtitles.

Ticketing is available online or at the box office.  The cost of a ticket is $15.00, but there will be a $2.50 service fee added by the Landmark Theatre.  However, the ticket price includes a light breakfast of bagel, cream cheese, coffee/tea plus a post-film discussion moderated by a representative from the Cinema Art Bethesda Group.

Doors will close at 10:00 a.m, promptly, so it is suggested attendees arrive at 9:30 a.m. to take advantage of the brunch offerings well before the theatre closes its outer doors at 10 a.m.

No need to RSVP for the movie
