ALSO, Don't miss our Bastille Day weekend extravaganza. We are screening all 6 hours of Peter Watkins' amazing film about the Paris Commune, "La Commune (Paris, 1871)"... this is a film like none other you've ever seen and I can't recommend it highly enough. We are showing it at CounterPULSE on Sat. night July 14 and Sun. night July 15, 3 hours each night, from 8-11 p.m. I'll be making fresh crepes! And if you bring French champagne we'll have quite the Bastille Day party! ($5-10 sliding scale, but no one turned away)... Here's the write-up on La Commune: Inside a giant warehouse in a working-class Parisian suburb, Peter Watkins assembles a cast of over 200 non-professional actors (though their amateur status is undetectable). Basing their work upon thorough historical research, they will attempt to re-create the events of March, 1871--the rise and fall of the Paris Commune. La Commune (Paris, 1871) explores that famous, brief, romantic, and tragic period when poor and working-class Parisians rose up against the "bourgeois" French national government, which fled the capital and re-established itself in Versailles. As this complex historical drama unfolds, it is also "covered" by two television news crews--one from "National TV Versailles," which broadcasts the official version of events, the other from "Commune TV," giving voice to the rebellious Communards. Mixing past and present, revolutionary in form as well as content, Watkins' audacious masterpiece forces us to confront notions of a safe or objecive reading of the past, and also to reflect, inevitably upon the present. No one who meets the challenge of La Commune (Paris, 1871) will be unchanged by the experience. -- All my mail is going through this gmail account now. www.chriscarlsson.com My blog: www.lipmagazine.org/ccarlsson www.shapingsf.org www.processedworld.com www.fullenjoymentbooks.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
