Princeton French Film Festival

Schedule:

12:00 to 1:30 PM: Masterclass at East Pyne 010
Led by Richard Brody Film critic for The New Yorker
Topics will include: To what extent does the history of French cinema still feel contemporary and necessary? What aspects of its current-day productions extend that history? Why does the French cinema (whether its realities or its myths) continue to inspire filmmakers and critics internationally? And, for that matter, what is French about the French cinema?

A Princeton alumnus (class of 1980), Richard Brody began writing for The New Yorker in 1999 and has contributed articles about the directors Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, and Wes Anderson. Since 2005, he has been the movie-listings editor at the magazine; he writes film reviews and a blog about movies. He is the author of the book Everything Is Cinema: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard and is at work on a book about the lasting influence of the French New Wave.
