TPCC - May - Jun 2023 Theme - '58-'73

NOUVELLE VAGUE / THE FRENCH NEW WAVE

We are very very very excited to launch our most comprehensive theme as yet!!! 

Given the depth and breadth of the movement and filmmakers’ works, we at TPCC took up the challenge to condense them not just to present popular choices but what we thought would shed more light on how diverse the filmmakers are and how boundary-pushing their film language became as time went on. 

Any narrow definition of a new wave film or filmmaker sees no room on the curators’ table at TPCC as select filmmakers from the Outer banks are also considered emphasizing the significance of the more sidelined works of the era and the later reverberations of the movement. 

A movement after which cinema was never the same, and in retrospecting in the upcoming months we would gladly wish the same on anyone who joins us in examining the iconoclasm and eternal spirit of Nouvelle Vague.

We will be screening:

Contempt

First Name: Carmen

In The Darkness of Time

Hail Sarajevo

Note:Screenings are for educational purposes only.
