BERTRAND
TAVERNIER
& HENRI TEXIER
'HOLY LOLA' screening & concert
A
French couple heads to Cambodia to adopt a child in Bertrand
Tavernier’s examination of the First World’s
childless and the Third World’s children, and the histories of
class, race and colonialism that come between the two. Tavernier
offers an almost documentary-like account of the adoption
process, of Cambodia itself and of First Worlders in the Third
World, with all the vast colonial legacies of mistrust, rage and
frustration that implies.
As
part of The French Film Festival
Bertrand Tavernier will be there to discuss the subject with the
audience after the screening and will introduce one of his
heroes, Jazzman Henri Texier,
who provided the score for Holy Lola. Texier returns to
Ireland with his Strada Quintet
for a unique performance of Holy Lola original soundtrack.
Monday

Screening
: 6.30pm

Concert : 9.30pm

CÉLINE
LÉONI
PHOTOGRAPHIES
Céline Léoni
is interested in takin`zg pictures of shapes and forms familiar to us, but revealing an aspect of the shapes and forms that only a trained and keen eye can see. The rest is a composition where reality meets fiction and what to make of it is left to your imagination.
For Léoni, the aim of the photographer, is to observe and reproduce on a bigger scale for all to see.
Opening Tuesday 8 November
at 8pm.
The exhibition will run
until Saturday 3rd December.
Entrance free.
