Arnolfini: Film: Jacques Rivette: Director In Focus

Film Jacques Rivette: Director In Focus One of the greatest living and working directors, credited by some with launching the French New Wave, Rivette has managed the difficult trick of producing relevant and intriguing films for over 50 years. A celebration of women, light, art, la vie Parisienne and the free filmmaking, his work is mischievous, playful, and testing. As part of the season Ginette Vincendeau is giving a talk on Jacques Rivette, on 19 August. back to top

Cineuropa - Dossiers - Sandy Mandelberger's Blog: European Films from North American point of view - French Film Week in New York: BAM Presents New French Cinema Series

Sandy Mandelberger's Blog: European Films from North American point of view French Film Week in New York: BAM Presents New French Cinema Series Sandy Mandelberger Friday, October 19 -------- BAMcinйmatek , the repertory film program at BAM Rose Cinemas, presents its annual presentation of New French Films from October 24 to 28. The series returns with five new features from France, all New York premieres. The series includes comedies, thrillers, and dramas, as well as a documentary investigating the relationship between filmmakers and critics. New French Films is presented in association with Unifrance NY and the French Cultural Services in New York. The series begins on October 24 with VERY WELL, THANK YOU (Trиs bien, merci), the second feature by director–screenwriter Emmanuelle Cuau , who will be present for a Q&A after the film. This Kafka–esque comic tale unfolds after an accountant is caught lighting a cigarette in a no–smoking area of the Paris Metro. In contrast, Laurent Achard’s gothic–tinged drama DEMENTED (Le Dernier des fous) is told from a child's perspective, combining the aesthetics of the coming-of-age story with a detached sense of emotional distance. The film was awarded the Prix Jean Vigo and the Silver Lion at the Locarno International Film Festival. Actress/filmmaker Maria de Medeiros will present her documentary debut, JE T'AIME.... MOI NON PLUS (2004), a thoughtful investigation of the love–hate relationship between filmmakers and critics, featuring interviews with a host of international filmmakers including Pedro Almodуvar, Amos Gitaп, Ken Loach , and Lloyd Kaufman , and film critics such as Michel Ciment, Jean–Michel Frodon, Todd McCarthy , and Elvis Mitchell .
