+ Movies projected
…ENFANTS DES COURANTS D'AIR, Edward Luntz (1959, 24 min). The lives of children in a slum area at the gates of Paris. The aesthetics of the images, the simplicity of the music and the dialogues accentuate the emotion that emerges from this film awarded with the Prix Jean Vigo in 1960.
L'AMOUR EXISTE, Maurice Pialat (1961, 19 min). The nocturnal images of the suburbs of Paris in the early 1960s show a critical commentary on urban planning, transport and contemporary living. First evoking the nostalgia of childhood and the search for images from the past, this activist documentary, with a high aesthetic quality, shows the boredom and emptiness of daily life.
