Welcome to the Alliance Française de Darwin

Soon after its creation in Paris, at the end of the 19th Century, the Alliance Française was administered by
people like Louis Pasteur, Ernest Renan and Ferdinand de Lesseps.

The aim of the Alliance Française is to promote French language and culture around the world, as
a non- profit organisation. Each branch is integrated in its community with the Alliance Française de Paris
ensuring that principles of neutrality, both politically and religiously are applied.

The Alliance Française de Darwin has been in existence since 1985

A major public event called Free French Film will be held at
the Jingili Watergardens on 25th September 2009

Alliance Française de Darwin will present La Prophétie des Grenouilles (Raining Cats and Frogs) an animation movie
suitable for the whole family that has received wide acclaim.

At the end of the world, on a cosy farm perched at the top of a hill, Tom lives with his loving foster parents: the calm and wise ex-sailor Ferdinand
and the temperamental African Juliette. Their neighbours own a small country zoo and Tom is best friends with their daughter Lili.

When her parents go on a short trip, they entrust their daughter and the animals to Tom's family. The children are thrilled, but the 'Frog Elder'
soon warns them that they are in grave danger: the frogs predict 40 days of continuous rain.

The wind starts blowing and black clouds start gathering. This is the start of an incredible adventure filled with hardship and misery.

La Prophétie des Grenouilles is a masterpiece that took 6 years to complete: 2 years writing,
36 months of production  (eight to ten seconds of film per day ), and one year in post-production.
