French Classesqspring 2019 Welcome from Alliance Française of Greenwich Renée Ketcham, Chair President of the Alliance Francaise of Greenwich BIENVENUE... Welcome to Focus on French Cinema 2019 ( FFC 2019), the 15th AN- NIVERSARY of Francophone film presented by the Alliance Française of Greenwich. During the past year, the Selection Committee has traveled to some of the most prestigious film festivals around the world…from Angoulême to TIFF, Namur, Locarno, Cinemania, Rendez- Vous in Paris and beyond in order to curate a diverse and dynamic selection of newly released U.S. Premiere and feature films that represent the vitality of Francophone cinema . FFC 2019 will screen 12 U.S. Premieres—the most in FFC history—EXCEPTIONNEL!—with a focus on “NEW” and young talent in French and Francophone cinema. From the Opening Night and festival weekend at Purchase College in 2005 with 800 enthusiastic ciné- philes to our 2018 audience of close to 7,000 , from DVDs to DCPs, a dazzling array of actors and directors, Focus on French Cinema of the Alliance Française of Greenwich continues to present the best of newly released Francophone cinema. Film runs through our veins at FFC, opening our eyes to the international world around us. We invite you every year to journey to new destinations, offering new ideas and new convictions elated by the energy of Francophone film. Thank you for your loyalty and your support Vive Le Cinéma Francophone! Team Focus on French Cinema EXECUTIVE Renée Amory Ketcham - Chair, President, Alliance Française of Greenwich COMMITTEE Gail Covney - Co-President, Alliance Française of Greenwich Fereshteh Priou - Vice-President & Treasurer, Alliance Française of Greenwich SELECTION Mary Hardy, Renée Amory Ketcham, Harry McLachlin, Joe Meyers, Sylvie Sergent, COMMITTEE Guilhem Caillard- Québec selection Joe Meyers, Director of Programming My second year as Director of Programming for Focus on French Cinema has reaffirmed my love of French language filmmaking in all of its various guises. The selection committee was presented with a fabulous array of dramas, thrillers, comedies, documentaries and family films to choose from. Paring the list down to the dozen or so movies we will be sharing with you was a real challenge but I am thrilled by our final choices. I am especially excited to present two young writer-directors and their new films: Paper Flags (Les drapeaux de papier) by Nathan Ambrosioni and A Colony (Une Colonie) by Genevieve Dulude-De Celles. I am confident both of these filmmakers are at the start of major careers and I am delighted they are joining us with their extraordinary movies. BIO: Joe Meyers has written about movies, theater and books for more than 30 years, for Hearst Connecti- cut Media Group and other publications. For several years Meyers has hosted the monthly French Cinema- theque screenings at the Avon Theatre, presented in partnership with the Alliance Francaise of Greenwich. He has also done many public interviews at the Stamford non-profit movie theater, ranging from Frank Langella and Paul Schrader to Gene Wilder and John Cameron Mitchell. In the 1970s, Meyers ran the first (and only) art house on the Delmarva Peninsula—the Lewes Cine- ma—where he programmed films by Francois Truffaut, Luis Bunuel and other great European directors. In 2012, the Mystery Writers of America gave Meyers the Ellery Queen Award for his writing on crime fiction. A Message from Guilhem Caillard I had the great pleasure of discovering Focus on French Cinema Festival five years ago. At the time, Renée Ketcham and her acolytes—including Mary Hardy, Anne Kern and Sylvie Sergent—regularly attended the CINEMANIA Film Festival in Montreal, Quebec, which I have had the pleasure of leading since 2014. So, every year in November, the Focus team used to come to “shop” in our event that shares the same passion for the Francophonie. Of course, this tradition continues, and the happy band of Focus returns not only each year to CINEMANIA, but I also have had the pleasure to meet them in Angoulême, France in August and even in Belgium, on the occasion of the International Festival of Francophone film of Namur in September…The organizers of Focus have always perfectly understood that the Francophonie has no boundaries: its unifying and creative values shine everywhere, from Montreal to Paris via Africa, Switzer- land, Luxembourg, the rest of Canada and even Connecticut. In 2017 at the invitation of the organizers, I came to Focus accompanied by no less than 10 Quebec artists and as many films. The enthusiasm of the spectators was such that we wanted to renew this collaboration. The following year, we renewed the initiative, always with the same interest for the youth and the new talents of Quebec cinema: the actor Noah Parker came to Greenwich to present the American premiere of Ailleurs. In this continuity, 2019 is no exception to the rule: I have proposed to Focus several recent Quebec titles, and their choice fell on two feature films that embody so well the vitality of the cinema of the Belle Prov- ince: A Colony and 1991. These two feature films have recently made news in Quebec, and it is an honor for Focus to welcome their representatives—in particular, filmmaker Geneviève Dulude-De Celles and actor Jean-Carl Boucher. Even more special, both films are North American premieres. Long live Quebec cinema, Francophonie, and Focus! — Guilhem Caillard Guilhem Caillard is the Managing Director of the CINEMANIA Film Festival in Montreal celebrating its 25th edition in November. He plays an important role in film selection and the fund- raising of this event. Guilhem previously worked for several European festivals, among them the Avignon Festival and the Mediterranean Film Festival of Montpellier (CINEMED). He studied at the Université Paul Valery (Montpellier) and most recently in Film Studies at the Concordia University (Quebec). Guilhem’s specialty is “Cultural Management”; with a focus on the history of cinema. He has served as a member of the jury at major film festivals. 7 The Mystery of Henri Pick Le mystère Henri Pick Friday, April 26 - 11:00am Bow Tie Cinemas, Greenwich, CT Greenwich Opening Night Friday, April 26 - 8:00pm Bow Tie Cinemas, Greenwich, CT GENRE Comedy DIRECTOR Rémy Bezançon SCREENPLAY Vanessa Portal, Rémy Bezançon STARRING Fabrice Luchini, Camille Cottin, Alice Isaaz, Bastien Bouillon LENGTH 100 min COUNTRY France US RELEASE US Premiere DISTRIBUTOR Gaumont SPONSORED BY SYNOPSIS In a strange library in the heart of Brittany, a young editor finds an extraordinary manuscript.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

She knows nothing about him, he thinks he knows her. He welcomes her into his home, she offers him her body. But the web that is woven between them in the space of twenty-four hours bears no relation to the circumstances of their encounter. 4 5 new awakening Without doubt, there was an underlying sense of gnawing depravity that surfaced in Certified Copy and took me by surprise. I was sure that I already had a good understanding of the work of this film-maker that I have been lucky enough to come across so often in the past 25 years. So I was not expecting his latest film to outstrip the already high opinion I have of his work. Some people like to feel that they can describe and pigeonhole his films as ‘pseudo-simplistic modernism’. But Abbas’ films have never failed to surprise and now here, not for the first time, is a new wake-up call, for me, and I am sure many others.
