Can’t make it to Cannes this year? Join us for the latest award-winning feature films and shorts (and wine specials of course). Video screenings on the theme of ‘Racial Loves’ (2 short films and a long movie).
French Kiss (Revelation Prize from the European Short Film Festival 2004 in Brest, France)
A Film by Antoine Peretjatko (18 min, 2004) with Vincent Lecompte, Marie Lorna Vasconsin and Thomas Schmitt.
In life, luck only happens once, unless you are lucky. So should you chat with Kate the American?
The Lover/L’Amant
A Film by Jean-Jacques Annaud (1h55, 1992) with Jane March and Tony Leung. From the novel by Marguerite Duras.
Jane March is mesmerizing in the role of a poor French teenager who engages in an illicit affair with a wealthy Chinese heir in 1920s Saigon. Can the torrid affair that ensues between them overcome the class restrictions and social mores of that time?
Paris, je t’aime
“Quai de seine” by Chadha (5 min, 2006)
Paris, je t’aime is about the plurality of cinema in one mythic location: Paris, the City of Love. Twenty filmmakers will bring their own personal touch, underlining the wide variety of styles, genres, encounters and the various atmospheres and lifestyles that prevail in the neighborhoods of Paris. Each director has been given five minutes of freedom.
