nanthapuram. The festival will feature five films by Jacques Demy, the renowned French filmmaker. The inaugural film will be ‘Jacquot de Nantes,’ a film by Agnès Varda on Jacques Demy. It will be screened at 3 p.m. on January 26. ‘Lola’ and ‘La baie des anges’ (‘Bay of the Angels’) will be screened at 5.30 p.m. and 7.15 p.m. respectively.
The following films will be screened on Sunday (January 27): ‘Les parapluies de Cherbourg’ (‘The Umbrellas of Cherbourg’) at 3 p.m.; ‘Les Demoiselles de Rochefort’ (‘The Young Girls of Rochefort’) at 5 p.m. and ‘Peau d’âne’ (‘Donkey Skin’) at 7.15 p.m.
Open-air screening
An open-air screening of ‘The Umbrellas of Cherbourg’ will be organised at 6 p.m. on January 24 at the bandstand of Museum Public Garden.
Jacques Demy was one of the most approachable filmmakers of the French New Wave. Uninterested in the formal experimentation of Alain Resnais, or the political agitation of Jean-Luc Godard, Demy, created a self-contained fantasy world closer to that of François Truffaut, drawing on musicals, fairytales and the golden age of Hollywood.
