Don't miss this French film with French Premiere!

In post-war France, Bojarski doesn’t just print money—he outsmarts a nation. Inspired by a true story, Reda Kateb plays the elusive Polish refugee who, for 15 years, forged banknotes so flawless they duped the Bank of France itself. But when relentless Commissioner Mattei (Bastien Bouillon) picks up the trail, the chase becomes a high-stakes duel—where every move could be Bojarski’s last.
📖 Language: French with English subtitles
📅 Date: Wednesday, May 6th

Yesterday, the Pi Delta Phi ceremony at Georgia Tech brought together students, faculty, and alumni to celebrate academic excellence and a shared commitment to French language and Francophone cultures.
The ceremony honored students who have demonstrated consistent dedication to advancing their French studies, both in and beyond the classroom at Georgia Tech.
A highlight of the program was a musical interlude performed by French students of School of Modern Languages at Georgia Tech, which added a beautiful cultural and artistic dimension to the ceremony.
As new members were inducted into Pi Delta Phi, the gathering underscored the importance of language learning in fostering global understanding, connection, and scholarly achievement.

Congratulations to all inductees on this well-earned honor!
