Festival CINERGIE
As the only francophone film festival and one of the few entirely bilingual events in Saskatchewan, Festival CINERGIE is a unique and important cultural attraction in Saskatoon. It is the perfect occasion to explore the world of local, Canadian francophone cinema and all its international success. All chosen films are shown with English subtitles in order to allow a wider audience to experience francophone cultures. We showcase a wide variety of genres, including dramas, comedies, thrillers, classics, new releases, art films, and films from emerging artists.

Saskcuisine en ville
Our Saskcuisine project offers a series of culinary workshops to celebrate Francophone gastronomic diversity by highlighting the flavours and aromas characteristic of various regions of the world by presenting dishes prepared by members of the community in question. The duration of these workshops is approximately 3 hours in the afternoon, and participation is limited to 10-15 people. At the end of the day, community members are invited to a community meal to taste the dishes prepared.
Anyone wishing to participate in Saskcuisine en ville should contact the FFS at 306 986-1026 or by email (culture@francosaskatoon.ca).
