September Events
September 14 — December 9
Film: Grand Illusions: French Cinema Classics, 1928 — 1960
This series surveys French film history from the end of the silent era to the beginning of the sixties, and includes both beloved classics and rarities, many in imported 35 mm prints. The September program spotlights, among others, Rene Clair, whose experiments with sound translated the avant-garde into popular art; Marcel Carne and Jean Gremillon, whose poetic realism survived the German Occupation; and Ophuls, whose late work imbued the period with subtle acuity. See these films again or for the first time and revel in the diversity and vitality of the “old wave” of French cinema. $9.50-13.50. Pacific Film Archive Theater, 2575 Bancroft Way, Berkeley. For details and full schedule: bampfa.berkeley.edu.
