ALL-FESTIVAL PASSES for THE FRENCH HAD A NAME FOR IT ‘23, screening at the Roxie Theater November 26-27 & December 3-4, are now on sale.
Here is the PayPal link to use in order to purchase. Passes are $89 and include a complimentary copy of INSTAGRAMMATOLOGY, chronicling my journey from mercurial “renegade programmer” and tireless advocate of “the lost continent of classic French film noir” into an unlikely career as a “image thief artist” like no other. The book is 153 pages, with more than 100 color illustrations. (A preview image of the book’s cover is shown below at right; some of you might recognize the face of the young woman surrounded by a phantasmagorical wilderness—it’s actress Andrée Clément—my “goth girl” whom we rediscovered for the world in 2018.)
BELOW please find the full schedule for FRENCH ‘23, which we re-post here for your convenience.
IF you’ve scrolled down here and ready to purchase an all-festival pass, here’s that PayPal link again so you don’t have to scroll back up! Remember, pass sales end on November 17th…
FRENCH ‘23 is a very special blend of rare/lost French film noir, covering all four decades of this astonishing lost world that only now is beginning to be seen as a game-changing discovery vis-a-vis the history of film noir and of French cinema. As I’ve noted previously, these really are one-of-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetime events, and I hope to see you there…
More detailed previews of the films will be posted over the next three weeks. Until next time: à bientot!
