Vous souhaitez vous libérer de quelques livres de langue française ?
Ne les jetez surtout pas !
Pourquoi ne pas les mettre à la disposition de nouveaux lecteurs ?

Le principe :
Vous amenez les livres qui ne vous intéressent plus. Vous fouinez parmi les livres que d'autres amèneront et qui sait, peut-être y serez-vous séduit(e) par un nouveau titre ! Dans ce cas, ce nouveau titre est à vous !
Oui, c'est gratuit !

Si vous en êtes à votre nettoyage de printemps,
merci de mettre les livres en français qui ne vous intéressent plus de cõté !

This feature directorial debut staring newcomers Pauline Acquart (Marie), Louise Blachère (Anne) and Adèle Haenel (Floriane), explores the vast theme of nascent teenage sexuality through the relationships of three 15-year-old girls who compete in their school’s synchronized swimming team. Together, they confront the confusion and cruelty of adolescence while learning about love and desire. The aquatic setting enhances the amorphous, fleeting nature of their interactions.

• Jessye Norman
The American Song & The French Melody
Mark Markham, piano
One of those once-in-a-generation singers who has never followed in the footsteps of others, soprano Jessye Norman continues to build upon her own rich legacy as she brings joy, passion and her opulent sound to innovative recital performances and operatic portrayals around the world. “The immensity of her voice struck like a thunderbolt,” wrote The Jerusalem Post. “It was like an eruption of primal power.” A 2006 recipient of the Grammy Awards’ Lifetime Achievement Award, Norman returns to Royce Hall after a breathtaking sold-out performance in 2005, performing an uplifting program exploring the French and American songbooks, including works by Ravel, Poulenc, contemporary French American composer Richard Danielpour and George Gershwin.

• Le Grand Feu d’Artifice et Autres Sketches
de Karl Valentin
Joué par le Club d’Art Dramatique des Elèves
du Lycée Français de Los Angeles
Mise en scène M. Leloup

La troupe présentera une sélection des meilleures histoires d'humour et de théâtre écrites par le comique allemand Karl Valentin (1882-1948), composées de courtes scènes de dialogues ou de monologues. Précurseur de ce que nous connaissons bien au théâtre aujourd'hui Karl Valentin innove dans tout ce qu'il entreprend ; l'effet de surprise, d'étrangeté, les ruptures de ton, de jeu… Tous ces éléments qui constituent la base des films burlesques américains et de l'entreprise de dénaturalisation du jeu menée par Brecht, sont présents sous les traits de ce grand clown du quotidien.

Tickets: $10 / $5

•Lecture with Jean-Philippe Vassal
CONFERENCE | LECTURE
Vassal is director of Lacaton and Vassal Architects in Paris, which he founded in 1987 with Anne Lacaton.
Openly proclaiming to be a reflection of and search for architectural economy, the work undertaken by the pair focuses on reduced-cost constructions in order to rejuvenate the dialogue with contracting authorities.
Research on hybridizations — between a contemporary building concept and the use of the most diversified techniques — produces projects that make the most of construction programs by altering building contractors' standard usages.
Lacaton and Vassal won the Grand Prix National d'Architecture Jeune Talent of the French Ministry of Culture in 1999, were nominated for the 1997 Mies van der Rohe Award for their office building in Grenoble, France, and were finalists for the 2003 Mies van der Rohe Award for their Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
Some of their other key projects include the University of Arts and Human Sciences in Grenoble, the Centre for Contemporary Creation in Paris and several houses in Mulhouse, France.

• "Un Chant d’Amour" ("A Song of Love") 1950
New Restored and Uncensored 35mm Print
CINEMA
25 min. Dir. Jean Genet.
Outlaw writer Jean Genet (author of subversive classics The Thief’s Journal and Our Lady of the Flowers) originally made the silent film "Un Chant d’Amour" for Parisian gay porn collectors. Set in a prison, the sexual fantasies of the prisoners are played out in the sadomasochistic environment of their surroundings. Banned in France upon its release for explicit sexuality, the film is voyeuristic and erotic while remarkably poetic and romantic. Genet’s sole directorial effort has proved its importance in queer film culture, influencing works from Andy Warhol to Todd Haynes.

Genet, 1981, 52 min.
Director Antoine Bourseiller’s fascinating documentary focuses on enfant terrible Jean Genet as he speaks candidly in 1981 about his prison experiences, his sexuality and his work.
