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.

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.

23rd July - 11th September
Opening Wednesday 22nd July at 6.30pm

CINÉCLUB:
PEUR[S] DU NOIR

Peur(s) du Noir is a wildly inventive and visually dazzling collection of fearful tales by six of the world's most renowned comic and graphic artists - Blutch (Grand Prix Festival Angouleme 2009), Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre Di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti, and Richard McGuire.

From a besotted student whose girlfriend is weirdly ardent in her affections, to a Japanese schoolgirl menaced by a long-dead samurai, and a pack of hounds on a bloodthirsty rampage, Peur(s) du Noir has a story strand to trouble every sleep - not to mention a stunning range of animation styles.

Conference: ULYSSES IN TRANSLATION

ULYSSES IN TRANSLATION by Dr SAM SLOTE

Conference. As part of the Bloomsday Festival the Joyce Centre, in partnership with the Alliance Française, is organising a talk by Dr Sam Slote of Trinity College. He will be speaking on 'Ulysses in Translation'. Joyce's novel, Ulysses, is one of the most widely translated English language novels in the world and Joyce's famously poetic and experimental language has provided translators with great challenges.
Sam Slote will focus his talk on the first French translation of the work, which was published in 1929 and so celebrates its 80th anniversary this year.

This talk will be mainly through English with questions and answers in French and English.

Monday 15 June at 6.30pm
Admission Free
