:cool: They're showing 'The 400 Blows' today. That and 'Hiroshima, mon amour' are probably the one's I've been looking forward to the most

Hamid

Today they're showing Truffaut's 'Jules and Jim'. Haven't seen it but I remember it being mentioned in 'There's Somethine About Mary'. About to go watch it now

That's a shame - The 400 Blows was particularly good and I think it will be available to view on the site after the festival but I don't think it'll be free .

Today they've got Godard's 'Masculin, Feminin'. Never seen any of Godard's films, but I hear they're good, so I'm looking forward to watching it when I've got the time later today.

Hamid

They're showing another Godard film today - 'Vivre Sa Vie' which I've just seen. I don't like it quite as much as Masculin/Feminin but it's still pretty good.

Hamid

They're showing Chris Marker's 'La Jetee' today. It's only about 20 minutes long, but it's free and a good watch. It's mostly a series of still images with a voiceover (English). If you've ever watched '12 Monkeys' (Bruce Willis), you'll recognise the plot - it's the inspiration behind the film.
