Passion. Murder. Many of the greatest artists of the 19th century shared a profound fascination with the theatre and its themes of triumph and destruction, love and despair. This summer, the Art Gallery of Ontario gives centre stage to key artworks by these artists in a major international exhibition titled Drama and Desire: Artists and the Theatre, opening June 19 and continuing through September 26. Conceived by Guy Cogeval, president of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the exhibition includes over 100 paintings, drawings and theatrical maquettes, by masters such as Edgar Degas, Eugène Delacroix, Jacques-Louis David, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, William Blake, Aubrey Beardsley, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Édouard Vuillard. The works were selected from the collections of some of the world's greatest museums, including the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Musée d'Orsay, the British Museum, and the Victoria & Albert Museum. JUNE 19 - SEPT 26 ART GALLERY OF ONTARIO 317 DUNDAS STREET WEST GILBERT GARCIN : MISTER G. JULY 22 - SEPT 25 The Stephen Bulger Gallery is pleased to present Gilbert Garcin’s first commercial exhibition in Canada. Born in La Ciotat, France, in 1929, Gilbert Garcin lives and works in Marseille. In his photographs, Gilbert poses as an ordinary ‘Mr. Everybody’, dressed with an old overcoat. By placing himself, via the character he embodies, in absurd and inextricable situations, he invites us to ponder such philosophical quandaries as time, solitude and the weight of existence. His work raises a number of universal questions about the meaning of human existence. The crudeness of his technique, combined with the intelligence of his themes, reflects an earnestness that embodies both the character and the creator. JULY 22 – SEPTEMBER 25 STEPHEN BULGER GALLERY 1026 QUEEN STREET WEST 4 LORÈNE BOURGEOIS : PRÈS DU CORPS JUNE 19 - JULY 11 The Loop Gallery is pleased to announce exhibition by Lorène Bourgeois entitled Près du corps. Près du corps, “close to the body,” is a reflection upon the ambiguous qualities of clothing and head dress, and upon the strange ability of such objects to oscillate between function, absurdity, theatricality and menace. Born in France, Lorène Bourgeois has been living in Canada since 1984. She trained as an artist in Paris, Philadelphia and Halifax (MFA, NSCAD, 1986). Her work in drawing, painting and printmaking has been widely exhibited across Canada, as well as in France, Korea, Russia and the United States. Lorène Bourgeois will speak about her work in a Question Answer Session on Saturday, July 10, at 3pm. LOOP GALLERY 1273 DUNDAS STREET WEST WWW.LOOPGALLERY.CA ZINEB SEDIRA: MIDDLE SEA UNTIL JULY 24 French-Algerian artist Zineb Sedira makes art about shifting identities. MiddleSea, her video work with accompanying photographs, takes place on a boat crossing the Mediterranean, en route from Algiers to Marseilles. The setting is a no man’s land, with the boat acting as both an aesthetic object and a value-laden symbol for the flow of people across borders. ONGOING UNTIL JULY 24 PREFIX INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART M u s i c ANGELIQUE KIDJO AT THE TORONTO JAZZ FESTIVAL JULY 1 Time Magazine has called Angelique Kidjo “Africa’s premier diva”. As one of the continent’s most internationally celebrated female musical exponent, she is a powerful singer and tireless performer. Her music draws from African traditions and elements of American soul, funk, rap, jazz, Brazilian samba, reggae and Cuban and Puerto Rican salsa creating a perfect blend of world music that exemplifies unity, peace and diversity. This is the spirit of Africa. FRENCH CONNECTION SERIES THU JUL 1, 8:00PM TORONTO STAR STAGE NATHAN PHILLIPS SQUARE 100 QUEEN STREET WEST N.W.

At 24, she’s already an award- winning singer, dancer and percussionist. The daughter of performers, Gnahore grew up in Village Ki-Yi M'Bock, an artist colony in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. At age 12, she declared to her father that her academic schooling was over and that she wanted to dedicate her life to the music and dance traditions she could learn from the masters in her village. During the period of political unrest in Ivory Coast, Dobet moved to Paris, where she now leads a multi-cultural band and creates vibrant pan-African music. In 2006 (at age 23), she won a BBC World Music award for “best newcomer”.

  • Abuse of Weakness
    Strand Releasing presents ABUSE OF WEAKNESS A film by CATHERINE BREILLAT Starring Isabelle Huppert & Kool Shen Official Selection: Toronto International Film Festival COLCOA French Film Festival New York Film Festival Country of Origin: France / Germany / Belgium Format: DCP/2.35/Color Sound Format: Dolby SR Running Time: 104 minutes Genre: Drama Not Rated In French with English Subtitles National Press Contact: Jenna Martin / Marcus Hu Strand Releasing Phone: 310.836.7500 [email protected] [email protected] Please download photos from our website: http://extranet.strandreleasing.com/secure/login.aspx?username=PRESS&password=STRAND SYNOPSIS Inspired by director Catherine Breillat’s (FAT GIRL, ROMANCE) true life experiences, her latest film, ABUSE OF WEAKNESS, is an exploration of power and sex. Isabelle Huppert (THE PIANO TEACHER, 8 WOMEN) stars as Maud, a strong willed filmmaker who suffers a stroke. Bedridden, but determined to pursue her latest film project, she sees Vilko (Kool Shen), a con man who swindles celebrities, on a TV talk show. Interested in him for her new film, the two meet and Maud soon finds herself falling for Vilko's manipulative charm as their symbiotic relationship hurdles out of control. DIRECTOR’S NOTE Abuse of weakness is a criminal offense. I used it as the film’s title because I like the sound of it, but also because it has another meaning. Abuse of power. Yes, Maud has strength of character; paradoxically, it’s her weakness. Being an artist means also revealing one’s weaknesses to others. I would have preferred Maud not to be a film director and the story not to seem autobiographical, since even the spectator (at least in intimate movies, and mine are) looks at himself in a mirror.

Like our Northwest Film & Video Festival, which celebrates the unique visions of artists in our community, PIFF seeks to engage, educate, entertain and challenge. We invite you to explore and celebrate not only the art of film, but also the world around you. It is said that film is a universal language—able to transcend geographic, political and cultural boundaries in a singular fashion. In the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous observation, “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler who is foreign,” this year’s films allow us to discover what unites rather than what divides. The Festival also unites our community, bringing together culturally diverse audiences, a remarkable cross-section of cinematic voices, public and private funders of the arts, corporate sponsors and global film industry members. This fabulous ecology makes the event possible, and we wish our credits at the back of the program could better convey our deep appreci- ation of all who help make the Festival happen.

  • THE LAST MISTRESS (UNE VIEILLE MAÎTRESSE) a Film by Catherine Breillat

Set during the reign of “citizen king” Louis Philippe, it chronicles the surprising betrothal of the aristocratic, handsome Ryno de Marigny (newcomer Fu-ad Aît Aattou) to Hermangarde (Roxane Mesquida of FAT GIRL), a young, beautiful and virginal aristocrat. Lurking in the margins – and in the imaginations of high society’s gossip-hounds – is de Marigny’s older, tempestuous lover of ten years, the feral La Vellini (Argento). Described as, “a capricious flamenca who can outstare the sun,” La Vellini still burns for de Marigny, and she will not go quietly. Though a fascinating departure into more traditional storytelling, THE LAST MISTRESS sees Breillat continuing her career-long interest in the ramifications of female desire, casting Argento as an impassioned independent woman for the ages, but it is also a surprisingly witty and touching – and needless to say sexily explicit - period drama that explores the age-old battle of the sexes.

    The 15th International Student Film Festival Tel Aviv June 19th-24th 2013 Summary Report The 15th International Student Film Festival Tel Aviv The 15th International Student Film Festival took place on June 19th-24th 2013 in Tel Aviv Cinemateque. This year, the Festival was produced as an annual event for the first time (rather than being a biannual event). Still, as one of the biggest and most important in its field, the Festival set its goal to portray a vast portrait of current international student films, create a unique and free environment for cinematic discourse and to expose the students to new and classic films, technologies, creators and more. The biggest event of the festival was the "2013 CILECT Prize", featuring 100 short student films from all over the world. 80 international students arrived to Israel for the festival, as well as a dozen lecturers of film studies from major international film schools (all from CILECT institutes). Alongside the International Panorama (CILECT Prize), the Israeli Competition was held, the largest and most important in Israel, the Mediterranean and Arab Countries Competition. Also for the first time – we held an Israeli independent Short Films Competition (short films who weren't produced as part of an academic institute). The Festival collaborated with the Israeli Film & TV Academy, and initiated a new academy award for the best Israeli Short Film. The winning film will be chosen out of a shortlist created by the Festival's jury. We believe this will give the Israeli student films a greater exposure for the wide audience as well as for the film industry persons, members of the academy, thus giving young filmmakers new opportunities.

  • THE SLEEPING BEAUTY from the Internationally Acclaimed Director of Bluebeard, the Last Mistress, Fat Girl, Romance, Sex Is Comedy, and Anatomy of Hell
    FOR MORE INFORMATION: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Samantha Klinger - 310.836.7500 Street Date - November 8, 2011 [email protected] Pre-Book Date - October 11, 2011 THE SLEEPING BEAUTY From the internationally acclaimed director of Bluebeard, The Last Mistress, Fat Girl, Romance, Sex Is Comedy, and Anatomy Of Hell On Tuesday, November 8, 2011 Strand Releasing proudly releases on DVD the latest of French provocateur Catherine Breillat's subverted fairytales, THE SLEEPING BEAUTY, a twisted retelling that ends far from "happily ever after". Starring Clara Besnaïnou, Julia Artamonov, Kerian Mayan, and David Chausse. Based on a tale by Charles Perrault, three fairies alter a curse on a young princess who is destined to die at an early age. Instead she embarks upon a hundred-year sleep, in which she is allowed to live a full and vivid life within her dreams. She experiences a sexual awakening that reshapes her view on Prince Charming when she has no clear perception of reality. Charles Perrault's Stories or Fairy Tales From Bygone Eras has drawn countless retellings in the form of animated films, ballets and children's books. BLUEBEARD was the first film Catherine Breillat deconstructed from one of his classic tales as THE SLEEPING BEAUTY is her second quintessential fairytale retold for adults and SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS will be the final installment of her vision to the trilogy. Winner of the Art Cinema Award (C.I.A.E.) at the Venice International Film Festival. An Official Selection at the Rendez-Vous with French Cinema in New York, ColCoa (French Film Festival in Los Angeles), Toronto, and San Francisco International Film Festivals.

  • Portrayal of the Disabled Body in Catherine Breillat's Abus
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by espace@Curtin ‘C’était moi mais ce n’était pas moi’: portrayal of the disabled body in Catherine Breillat’s Abus de faiblesse (2013) Kath Dooley [[email protected]] Department of Screen Arts, Curtin University, Kent St, Bentley WA 6102, Australia Writer/director Catherine Breillat's most recent film Abus de faiblesse (2013) explores an important moment of bodily transition: the change from able to disabled body. This semi-autobiographic film follows the story of film director, Maud (Breillat's alter ego), who forms a destructive relationship with a conman, Vilko, after she suffers a disabling stroke. This film shows consistency with Breillat's previous work in its exploration of the constructed nature of the female body onscreen. In the past the filmmaker has portrayed moments of trauma and transition (such as childbirth, loss of virginity or rape) to subvert processes of objectification. The article argues that Abus de faiblesse challenges and subverts representation of the post-menopausal and disabled body onscreen. The film interrogates binary oppositions such as able/disabled and independence/dependency to challenge representations of the disabled body as 'other'. With reference to scholarly work on disability (Mitchell and Snyder 2006) and the aging female body (Markson 2003; Ussher 2006) the article suggests that Maud's sadomasochistic relationship with Vilko is driven by a quest to retain her subjectivity after her stroke. The article demonstrates that the film dissects the feared and the unknown territory of the aging female body.

  • Genre Trouble and Extreme Cinema
    Genre Trouble and Extreme Cinema A Dissertation Submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Trent University Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Troy Michael Bordun 2015 Cultural Studies Ph.D. Graduate Program September 2015 Abstract Genre Trouble and Extreme Cinema Troy Michael Bordun This dissertation re-evaluates theories of genre and spectatorship in light of a critic- defined tendency in recent art cinema, coined extreme cinema. It argues that the films of Mexican director Carlos Reygadas and French director Catherine Breillat expand our generic classifications and, through the re-organization of the visual presentation of genre-specific clichés and devices, their films transform sense experience and thought. My approach loosely follows Stanley Cavell’s various assertions of film as a medium of thought or, simply, that films think. Reygadas and Breillat allow spectators to reflect on the genre-film experience; I contend that their films make it apparent that genre is not established prior to the viewing of a work but is recollected and assembled by spectators in ways that matter for them. In fostering this experience of collection, these two directors propose a kind of ethics of curatorship: spectators are tasked with collecting and recollecting their film experience to generate particular social, cultural, and political critiques. To further accomplish and foster film as thought, the directors appeal to spectators’ sense experiences. I therefore deploy contemporary film theories on the senses, both phenomenological and affect theory, and partake in close readings of the films’ forms and narratives.
