7:30 PM : Premiere screening of "Notre Dame Résurrection" 

On December 1, 2025, French in Motion will conclude its 2025 season of “Movie Nights”. As the final screening of the season, held in partnership with Villa Albertine, the evening will feature Notre-Dame Résurrection, an exceptional documentary directed by Xavier Lefebvre and written by Alain Zenou.

Filmed over FIVE years, this documentary offers a rare insight into the extraordinary reconstruction of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris after the 2019 fire.

Thanks to privileged access to the construction site, hours of previously unseen footage, and exclusive interviews with the craftsmen, architects, and teams involved, the film reveals the human, technical, and artistic challenges behind one of the most ambitious restoration projects of the 21st century.

This screening caps off a year of programming dedicated to highlighting contemporary French and Francophone audiovisual creation, carried by the exceptional members of our community — across the United States and in France — while strengthening the ties we continue to build with the Film & TV landscape of Washington, DC.

This event is organized as part of Movie Nights by French in Motion.
