Cinema Parisienne—Vintage Paris through the Filmmaker’s LensPost an Event »
Oddball Films presents Cinema Parisienne—Vintage Paris through the Filmmaker's Lens, a program of 16mm films from the 1920s-1970s highlighting the art, architecture and nightlife of Paris. While vacation season may be over, that doesn't mean we can't take a rare trip across the world and back in time to celebrate the romantic mystery of the Paris of yesteryear with short films in a wide-variety of genres and styles, but all singularly Parisian.
Films include the Academy-Award winning silent comedy One-Eyed Men Are Kings (1974); Rendezvous (1976), Claude Lelouch's one-take mad-dash through Paris at 140 mph; Streets of Paris (1933) featuring burlesque queen Sally Rand and her infamous fan-dance; Allegro Ma Troppo (1963), a mesmerizing night in Paris at two frames a second; Brooklyn Goes to Paris (1956), a comedy-travelogue with hilarious Brooklynite Arthur Cohen; Anemic Cinema (1926), the Parisian-made Dada-ist film by Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray; an excerpt of Le Corbusier (1977) meditating on the modern architectural master's Notre Dame du Haut; and the much-loved oscar-winning classic The Red Balloon (1956). Plus, the early birds will get the stunning treat of the visually-astounding documentary Kinetic Art in Paris (1971).
