WORDS: Richard Dawkins's 2006 tome The God Delusion has sold over 1.5 million copies in its English pressing alone, and his work as an evolutionary biologist has earned him the nickname "Darwin's Rottweiler." His new novel, The Greatest Show On Earth: The Evidence for Evolution, follows in the vein of the rest of his books (exploring the evidence supporting evolution), but it also attempts to refute the criticism he's faced from people who believe in creationism and deny the existence of evolution. Tonight he'll be at the Isabel Bader Theatre to read from The Greatest Show On Earth. The Chapters-Indigo website says the reading is already sold out, so beg, borrow, but don't steal a ticket (because, even if there's no God to punish us, Torontoist doesn't condone stealing). Isabel Bader Theatre (93 Charles Street West), 7 p.m., $10.

FILM: Cinefranco opens with Stephane Gehami’s En Plaine Coeur, the first of thirty-three French-language features (including Paris, shown above) and numerous short films the festival will be screening. This year's festival includes films from Canada, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Morocco, Lebanon, and Iran. The youth program is sold out, but next weekend there is a Master Class scheduled with Quebec Cinéma Vérité veteran Michel Brault and a roundtable discussion about Moroccan art. As the city's most adorable festival organizer puts it, "How else can you get to Paris for ten dollars?" Check the festival's website for schedule details (on until April 5). Royal Cinema (608 College Street), 7 p.m., $10 per screening.
