Deaf Conversations about Cinema: Nouvelle Vague
Mon 9 Feb 20:00
Café & Bar, Watershed
This is a free event, no booking necessary.
Please join us at the 18:00 DS screening of Nouvelle Vague on Mon 9 Feb which will feature an introduction from our Cinema Curator Mark Cosgrove, which will feature BSL interpretation.
A playful, poignant love letter to cinema, Richard Linklater reimagines the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless in an exuberant exploration of the youthful rebellion and creative chaos that shaped the French New Wave.
Newcomer Guillaume Marbeck plays Godard at the dawn of his career, directing Jean Seberg (Zoey Deutch) and Jean-Paul Belmondo (Aubry Dill) as star-crossed lovers, filming with unorthodox spontaneity on the streets of Paris. Working alongside other key players, friends and creative collaborators like Francois Truffaut – who’s shooting The 400 Blows – Claude Chabrol, Roberto Rossellini, Jean-Pierre Melville and Jacques Rivette, the pressure to produce a masterpiece is impossible to escape…
This will be followed at 20:00 by a post-screening discussion in the Café & Bar with Mark and audience members. The evening will be hosted by Deaf artist, performer and filmmaker David Ellington and will feature BSL interpretation throughout.
