La Nouvelle Vague 50th Anniversary retrospective.

The French New Wave or La nouvelle vague was a term coined by critics to refer to work by innovative filmmakers in France whose heyday was between 1958 and 1964. These new directors, who included François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, responded to their experiences of France’s upheaval following the devastation of WWII by creating works of art in deliberate reaction to the old-fashioned, ‘quality’ cinéma de papa (‘Dad’s cinema’). With some of the country’s greatest directors such as Jean Renoir (who represented the old guard of French auteur cinema) in a state of exile due to WWII, there emerged the possibility of a ‘new wave’ of directors to make their presence provocatively known on the French film scene.

A summer of French films at the GFT

As much as we hope you will all be hopping to France for a few weeks this summer, we are quite aware that some will actually stay in Glasgow. If you are in the latter category, the GFT will bring over a large selection of films from France or on France for you to enjoy. Continuing a very successful season in July will be Fred Cavayé’s Anything For Her (Tout pour elle, Saturday, July 11, 2.30 and Sunday July 12, 7.45) , a superb and utterly gripping thriller starring Diane Kruger and Vincent Lindon.

Summer Closure of the Library

Due to essential maintenance work over the summer, the library will be closed for the whole July and August. We regret that it will not be possible to borrow any items or use library resources over this period. The good news is that items borrowed by the 30th June may be kept on loan until the 1st September, when the library will reopen.
