The trip continues with Pépé Le Moko, the story of a wanted man in the Casbah of Algiers, starring the iconic French heartthrob Jean Gabin, and then brings viewers to a casino in Monaco with Priceless, staring Audrey Tautou (Amélie) and popular comedian Gad Elmaleh. Next, a flick for kids takes audiences through Paris all the way to Alexandria and Marseilles with the animated tale Zarafa, set in the early 19th Century and inspired by the story of the first Giraffe of France. Goha tracks a naive Tunisian boy’s adventures and showcases stunning performances by Omar Sharif and Claudia Cardinale, while Queen to Play, based on Bertina Henrichs' acclaimed novel La Joueuse d'échec (The Chess Player), stars the prolific Sandrine Bonnaire and irreplaceable Kevin Kline in the beautiful Corsica setting. Next up is a rare screening of La Dérive (originally released in 1963), a film by one of the few female directors of the New Wave, Paula Delsol, that takes place in the South of France and mixes documentary-like observational powers with Antonioni-like intensity and was compared to the first films of Ingmar Bergman by François Truffaut. Famed French director Eric Rohmer’s first color film, La Collectionneuse, joins three other Rohmer films that were first released in the United States over the past six months, and brings viewers back to the glamorous St. Tropez. Called “Dazzling!” and “A wild and vivid ride!” by the Los Angeles Times, The Rabbi’s Cat, inspired by a celebrated graphic novel of the same name, is a charming animation taking place in Algeria that won the Best Animated Feature César award in 2012. Full film descriptions follow. Since its inception in 2008, the festival has expanded the reach of French film and brought classic and contemporary movies to local communities. Started in the community gardens of lower Manhattan and Harlem, this much-loved summer festival now shows ten films at six major locations: Central Park, Riverside Park, Tompkins Square Park, Washington Square Park, Columbia University, and Transmitter Park (Brooklyn). As an added bonus, DJs from WNYU 89.1 FM, NYU’s radio station, play tunes before each screening.

Yet this was already clear in Bergson’s own testimonies: “When I first saw the cinematograph I realized it could offer something new to philosophy. Indeed we could almost say that cinema is a model of consciousness itself. Going to the cinema turns out to be a philosophical experience.”3 If Bergson’s relationship with the cinematic apparatus is ambivalent, (being a model of consciousness, but only in how it distorts the real), it remains to be seen in what manner his affirmative stance towards film should be understood.

  • July 8 Grants Press Release
    CITY PARKS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 109 GRANTS THROUGH NYC GREEN RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND AND GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC GRANT APPLICATION NOW OPEN FOR PARK VOLUNTEER GROUPS Funding Awarded For Maintenance and Stewardship of Parks by Nonprofit Organizations and For Free Live Performances in Parks, Plazas, and Gardens Across NYC July 8, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY - City Parks Foundation announced today the selection of 109 grants through two competitive funding opportunities - the NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund and GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC. More than ever before, New Yorkers have come to rely on parks and open spaces, the most fundamentally democratic and accessible of public resources. Parks are critical to our city’s recovery and reopening – offering fresh air, recreation, and creativity - and a crucial part of New York’s equitable economic recovery and environmental resilience. These grant programs will help to support artists in hosting free, public performances and programs in parks, plazas, and gardens across NYC, along with the nonprofit organizations that help maintain many of our city’s open spaces. Both grant programs are administered by City Parks Foundation. The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund will award nearly $2M via 64 grants to NYC-based small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations. Grants will help to support basic maintenance and operations within heavily-used parks and open spaces during a busy summer and fall with the city’s reopening. Notable projects supported by this fund include the Harlem Youth Gardener Program founded during summer 2020 through a collaboration between Friends of Morningside Park Inc., Friends of St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, & Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy to engage neighborhood youth ages 14-19 in paid horticulture along with the Bronx River Alliance’s EELS Youth Internship Program and Volunteer Program to invite thousands of Bronxites to participate in stewardship of the parks lining the river banks.

  • The Techniques of Realism and Fantasy for the Expression of the Political in French Cinema from Its Origins to the New Wave
    THE EXPRESSION OF THE POLITICAL IN FRENCH CINEMA THE TECHNIQUES OF REALISM AND FANTASY FOR THE EXPRESSION OF THE POLITICAL IN FRENCH CINEMA FROM ITS ORIGINS TO THE NEW WAVE By FRANCES OKSANEN, B. A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University October 1990 MASTER OF ARTS (1990) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (French) Hamilton~ Ontario TITLE: The Techniques of Realism and Fantasy for the Expression of the Political in French Cinema from its Origins to the New Wave AUTHOR: Frances Oksanen, B. A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor John Stout NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 167. ii .... '. ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between film techniques and politics in French cinema. The first filmmakers established the basic techniques of cinema, using realism to record events, and fantasy to create amusements. Narrative film developed as a combination of these techniques. Cinema of the twenties was closely associated with the European art movements of Dadaism, Surrealism and Expressionism. By the thirties, the political polarisation and the threat of a second World War caused filmmakers to project political opinions and to portray societal problems. Narrative film became an important means of influencing public opinion, although not always in the directions intended. With the New Wave, autobiographical content and a return to early film techniques made narrative film both personal and traditional. The directors solidified the reputation of French cinema as topical, socially relevant, and politically involved. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor John C. Stout for his advice through the course of my research, and Professor Charles E.

  • WARHOL: Bardot
    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y 28 September 2011 PRESS RELEASE GAGOSIAN GALLERY 17-19 DAVIES STREET T. 020.7493.3020 LONDON W1K 3DE F. 020.7493.3025 GALLERY HOURS: Mon - Sat 10:00am – 6:00pm WARHOL: Bardot Monday, 10 October – Saturday, 12 November 2011 Brigitte Bardot was one of the first women to be really modern and treat men like love objects, buying them and discarding them. I like that. --Andy Warhol Gagosian Gallery London is pleased to announce an exhibition of Andy Warhol's portraits of Brigitte Bardot. Bardot was the original sex kitten, a superstar of French New Wave cinema, and an icon of feminine sensuality. Aged eighteen, she gained sudden and worldwide notoriety for her steamy role in Roger Vadim's directorial debut, And God Created Woman (1956), which broke box-office records and censorship taboos with its titillating display of sex and eroticism in St Tropez. Despite mixed critical reviews, the film launched her career and presaged her international stardom. Bardot also caught the attention of French intellectuals: she was the subject of Simone de Beauvoir's 1959 essay "Brigitte Bardot and the Lolita Syndrome," which described her as a "locomotive of women's history", building upon existentialist themes to declare her the most liberated woman of post-war France. Her crowning achievement occurred in 1963 as Camille in Jean-Luc Godard's New Wave masterpiece Contempt, based on Alberto Moravia's emotionally raw account of a marital break-up, set against the intrigues of the international film industry.
