And the Ship Sails On
And The Ship Sails On by Serge Toubiana at the occasion of the end of his term as Director-General of the Cinémathèque française. Within just a few days, I shall come to the end of my term as Director-General of the Cinémathèque française. As of February 1st, 2016, Frédéric Bonnaud will take up the reins and assume full responsibility for this great institution. We shall have spent a great deal of time in each other's company over the past month, with a view to inducting Frédéric into the way the place works. He has been able to learn the range of our activities, meet the teams and discover all our on-going projects. This friendly transition from one director-general to the next is designed to allow Frédéric to function at full-steam from day one. The handover will have been, both in reality and in the perception, a peaceful moment in the life of the Cinémathèque, perhaps the first easy handover in its long and sometimes turbulent history. That's the way we want it - we being Costa-Gavras, chairman of our board, and the regulatory authority, represented by Fleur Pellerin, Minister of Culture and Communication, and Frédérique Bredin, Chairperson of the CNC, France's National Centre for Cinema and Animation. The peaceful nature of this handover offers further proof that the Cinémathèque has entered into a period of maturity and is now sufficiently grounded and self-confident to start out on the next chapter without trepidation. But let me step back in time. Since moving into the Frank Gehry building at 51 rue de Bercy, at the behest of the Ministry of Culture, the Cinémathèque française has undergone a profound transformation.

Isabelle Huppert
Les Visiteurs du Soir présente ISABELLE HUPPERT LIT SADE Juliette et Justine, le vice et la vertu © Peter Lindbergh Textes réunis par Raphaël Enthoven Création le 27 janvier 2013 Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles (Bozar) En tournée en 2013-2014 Booking - Fabienne Calonier 01 44 93 02 02 / [email protected] PRÉSENTATION On présente souvent l’œuvre de Sade comme une «antiutopie», une dystopie où le meurtre, la violence sexuelle, l’anthropophagie sont loués pourvu qu’ils permettent aux puissants de jouir sans entrave. Isabelle Huppert prête sa voix à deux figures emblématiques de l’œuvre de Sade : Justine et Juliette, deux sœurs aux destins opposés, l’une perdue par la vertu, l’autre triomphant par le vice. À travers elles, Raphaël Enthoven interroge le malaise qui pèse sur la production littéraire et le message du sulfureux écrivain : « Je ne m'explique pas la raison pour laquelle le Marquis de Sade continue - légitimement - de nous choquer. (…) Son éloge du vice et l'outrance des orgies qu'il décrit ne suffisent pas à comprendre la persistance du dégoût qu'il inspire. Le mal vient de plus loin. Sade, c'est l'ombre des Lumières, la face cachée du soleil. Son immoralisme est d'abord un amoralisme. Sous les imprécations du mécréant contre la « chimère déifique », il faut entendre le refus de croire que le monde est là pour nous faire plaisir. C'est peut-être là qu'il est indigeste : dans la constance avec laquelle il construit une philosophie - et même une éthique - sur le socle d'un monde glacial et inhumain ».

The first was the news that, after 22 years as délégué général, Gilles Jacob stepped up to become Président while handing down the reins to Thierry Frémaux, the latter now divides his time between Cannes and duties as head of the Institute Lumière in Lyons. The other was the presence on the Croisette of seven previous Palme d’Or directors: Francis Ford Coppola (The Conversation, 1974, and Apocalypse Now, 1979), Ermanno Olmi (The Tree of Wooden Clogs, 1978), Shohei Imamura (The Ballad of Narayama, 1983, and The Eel, 1997), David Lynch (Wild at Heart, 1990), Joel and Ethan Coen (Barton Fink, 1991), and Abbas Kiarostami (The Taste of Cherries, 1997). One might add, too, that over the past quarter century each of their eight award-winning films helped considerably to set the tone and style of the world’s mostrevered film festival. Apocalypse Now Redux In the case of Apocalypse Now -- aka Apocalypse Now Redux, to denote a new version of an old film -- Francis Ford Coppola returned to Cannes with the completed version of his work-in-progress presented here 22 years ago. No less than 53 minutes were added to the re-edited 203-minute version, in addition to a re-mastered Technicolor transfer and a re-mastered soundtrack.

Kyle Stevens and Murray Pomerance
Close-up: great international performances Kyle Stevens and Murray Pomerance Humans are storytelling creatures, and as, in the last century, the dominant medium for public narratives shift ed from theater to cinema, cinema placed the fruits of performative labor before the eyes of the world in an unprecedented way. What actors do in front of the camera remains central to the att raction of cinema for audiences, and infl uences—even marks the standard for—performance styles in other audiovisual media. Indeed, one could go further: many of the fi gures discussed in the pages that follow became cultural and mythical icons in the global consciousness of their time. Audiences care about actors, the characters they create, and the responses they engender. Performances are even the reason some fi lms are preserved. But beyond vague assertions about which performances are ineff ably great, profoundly moving, hopelessly terrible, or cringe-worthy, relatively litt le discussion of what actors really do exists, either in popular or academic fi lm criticism. Movements within the discipline of Film Studies (semiotics, psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology, and so forth) tend to look fi rst to the sciences, and thus outside fi lms themselves, for legitimate—meaning objective—means of verifying claims about movies. Th is poses a problem for the analysis of performance, as we respond to and love the displays of feelings, desires, and intentions at a personal level, if also collectively. We might thus wish to grapple with questions of what makes a performance meaningful, how we can share this sense, and, in sharing, possibly come to agreement.

20 Friday Lifestyle | Movies Friday, January 5, 2018 Cate Blanchett to head Cannes festival jury ate Blanchett, the double Oscar-winning actress leading a Hollywood campaign to tackle sexual harassment in the Cworkplace, will head the jury at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, organizers said yesterday. Australian Blanchett, 48, who helped launch the “Time’s Up” initiative this week following a string of sexual assault accusations against prominent men in the film industry, will become the 12th woman to lead the prestigious panel at Cannes, which kicks off on May 8. “We’re very pleased to welcome a rare and unique artist with talent and conviction,” Cannes president Pierre Lescure and del- egate general Thierry Fremaux said in a joint statement. “Our conversations this autumn convince us she will be a committed president, and a passionate and generous spectator.” The choice of Blanchett, who was named best actress at the 2014 Academy Awards for her role in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine”, will be seen as politically charged after a year in which the sexual harassment scandal surrounding Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein sparked a deluge of allegations against powerful men in entertainment, politics and the media.
