Le Cinéma Français: Contemporary Dramas and the Nouvelle Vague for A Level French Students

Friday 29th November, 2019
10:30 - 15:30

Please note: This day is for students and teachers only. Members of the public will not be admitted, so if you are not a student or teacher, please do not book as this will not be refunded.

This study day has been structured in response to the A Level specifications. Conducted in French, the morning session will compare Truffaut’s seminal Les 400 Coups (1959), Godard’s A bout de soufflé (1960) and Varda’s Cleo de 5 à 7 (1962) to contemporary films which present current social issues of class and ethnic divisions like Kassovitz’s La Haine (1995), Cantet’s Entre les Murs (2008) and Sciamma’s Bande de filles (2014). Through exploring key scenes and applying textual analysis, students will simultaneously extend vocabulary while improving their understanding of film language. In the afternoon there will be an introduced screening of La Haine.

Led by Dr. Emily Salines, Senior Lecturer, University of the Arts London
