Free Radicals: Serge Bozon and the New French Cinema
April 13–18, 2011 at
Film Society of Lincoln Center
, New York
In person: writer, director, actor, and DJ Serge Bozon.
Fifty years after Jean-Luc Godard and the Young Turks of Cahiers du cinéma, another "new wave" of critic-filmmakers hailing from the iconoclastic magazine La lettre du cinéma is boldly storming the gates of the French film establishment. Made in a collective spirit, using many of the same actors and crew, these highly literate, deeply romantic, formally inventive works introduce a group of prodigious young talents. At the center of this constellation is the writer, director, actor, lyricist, and DJ Serge Bozon (La France), who will join us to present this first major U.S. survey of films by the Lettre du cinéma circle. Bozon will perform a DJ set in the Furman Gallery on Friday and Sunday evenings following the conclusion of the last screening.
Featured Works:
Continuing in the spirit of Bozon's 2010 Centre Pompidou exhibition, we have invited the filmmaker to present a handful of unheralded, rarely screened treasures that have inspired and influenced his work, with a particular emphasis on American westerns and films produced by the maverick French auteur Paul Vecchiali under the aegis of his company Les Films Diagonale.
