Paris, Je t'Aime (Paris, I Love You)

Celebrated directors from around the world have come together to portray

Paris in a way never before imagined. Made by a team of contributors as cosmopolitan as the city itself, this portrait of the city is as diverse as its creators' backgrounds and nationalities. With each director telling the story of an unusual encounter in one of the city's neighborhoods, the vignettes go beyond the 'postcard' view of Paris to portray aspects of the city rarely seen on the big screen.

The origins and early history of both photography (Daguerre) and cinema
(Lumiere Bothers) are traceable back to Paris. The city has figured prominently in the history of both these arts and has exerted an especially deep influence on the development of contemporary cinema; both in form and content. The French New Wave cinema movement of the early 1960's revolutionized film, film theory and the style of contemporary movies. Presented in conjunction with the A Tale of Two Cities exhibition.

2 or 3 Things I Know About Her

(Duex ou Trois Choses Que Je Sais D'Elle)

Set in the 1960's, this is an utterly fascinating and engrossing meditation on the modern consumer lifestyle. Juliette is a housewife that turns to prostitution to bring in money so she can buy the newest dresses.

In the middle of an Australian summer, we meet three sisters. Nina is widowed with two young children. Anna is an aspiring actress unhappily married to a filmmaker. Christine is a med student who has yet to fully come to terms with her sexuality. When their mother Susan's breast cancer returns, the family is faced with the reality of their last Christmas together. As each daughter confronts personal change and growth, Susan guides them by revealing a secret of her own.
