About this event
TAFFF Opening Night Gala: IN WAVES + Conversation & Reception with Champagne
A little Hollywood, a little French flair, and a night worth dressing up for.
Celebrate 30 years of The American French Film Festival on November 3 with an Opening Night Gala featuring the Los Angeles Premiere of IN WAVES, co-presented with Netflix.
Set against LA’s surf culture and adapted from AJ Dungo’s graphic novel, this beautifully animated story explores first love, loss, and finding your way through the waves.
Stay for a conversation with director Phuong Mai Nguyen, actress Stephanie Hsu, producer Priscilla Bertin, and author AJ Dungo, then keep the celebration going at the reception.
Tuesday, November 3, 2026 Film at 6:30 PM · Reception at 9 PM DGA Theater Complex, Hollywood Film presented in English.
Make it your movie night—with a gala upgrade.
