CINÉ-CLUB:

FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT'S
LA MARIÉE ÉTAIT EN NOIR

Seven years after the success of Jules and Jim, François Truffaut teams up again with Jeanne Moreau in this adaptation of the thriller novel The Bride Wore Black by Cornell Wollrich.
Although not one of the best known and most representative Truffaut's films, La mariée était en noir gained recognition over the years and is regarded today as a classic. It was for instance a main influence on Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill.

Thursday 30 July at 6.30pm

French version with English subtitles Booking: library@alliance-francaise.ie

Admission Free. Seats are limited to 20 and restricted to AF Members.

YOUNG TALENTS
DIT SCHOOL OF MEDIA '09


Exhibition. With a view to creating a new premium photographic space in the city in order to showcase local talent and to forge new links in this area between France and Ireland, the Alliance Française in Dublin formed a committee of some of the leading personalities (teachers, curators, artists) of the capital's photographic world.
This was the idea behind our last exhibitions and we continue this month by displaying the works of five specially selected final year students of the DIT School of Media.
JB. Maher, Margaret Byrne, Nathan Fields, Orla Sloyan and Una Spain will thus have the opportunity to display their works in the Alliance Française Photographic Gallery throughout the summer.
