•Open
House 2010 - Galette des Rois et cidre
Event features refreshments, Galette des Rois* and the opportunity for
members to socialize and for prospective students to chat with our teachers
about the best class for them.
Sign up for your winter class and enjoy a special 10% discount on the
course fee. The full winter term begins the week of January 18.
*La Galette des Rois or Kings' Cake is a puff pastry layered
cake with a center of frangipane (a traditional filling of almond paste).
In France, galettes are sold in bakeries in January. In the past a feve
- large dry bean or fava bean - was hidden in the galette (the feve has
been replaced by a figurine). The guest who finds la feve in their slice
becomes the king or queen of the day.
During our Open House event, each person that finds the feve will get
a 25% discount on classes.
Free entrance. Please RSVP to adminafdela@gmail.com.

•Anima
- The Photography of Jean-François Spricigo
5 pm to 8 pm
Opening Reception of the exhibit
Jean-Francois Spricigo, the 2008 Laureate of the Prix de Photographie
de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts, may well be the most articulate
animal advocate on record.
His critically acclaimed photographic series ‘anima’ documents
the psychological complexity of the animal kingdom. The yound Belgian
artist ’s extreme sensitivity to the physical reality of each animal
creates images, shot entirely in black and white, that transmit the emotional
insight of movie stills.
Gallery hours: Tuesday - Friday 10am – 6pm; Saturday
11am – 5pm.

•Jessica Fichot
Chanteuse and songwriter Jessica Fichot
is a lot like her hometown of Paris: French at heart, but with a soul
that's truly international. Her multi-ethnic French / Chinese / American
upbringing colors the songs on her debut album. It's called Le Chemin,
"The Path," and for good reason: Jessica takes the listener
on a twisting journey out of the French chanson tradition, into the
lands of gypsy jazz, Chinese and Latin American folk music, through
the classic American repertoire, and off into the wilderness of her
imagination. |

CINEMA
•Spotlight
on Jean-Paul Belmondo
La Sirène du Mississippi (Mississippi Mermaid)
1969/color/123 min./Scope | Scr/dir: François Truffaut; w/ Jean-Paul
Belmondo, Catherine Deneuve.
Jean-Paul
Belmondo will introduce this screening in person!
Mississippi Mermaid applies a dreamlike style to the tale of a wealthy
plantation owner on the French Island of Réunion (Belmondo) who
becomes so obsessed with his ravishing mail order bride (Deneuve) that
he accepts her every duplicity, including his own murder.
"So full of lovely, complex things—of unannounced emotions,
of ideas, of the memories of other movies (Truffaut's, as well as of those
of two of his father figures, Renoir and Hitchcock)—that it defies
easy definition and blithely triumphs over what initially appears to be
structural schizophrenia.
It is the creation of a superior moviemaker who works eccentrically in
the classical tradition."—Vincent Canby, The New York Times.
New 35mm print.
Ticket Prices

•Spotlight
on Jean-Paul Belmondo
7:30 p.m.
Pierrot le fou
1965/color/110 min./Scope | Scr/dir: Jean-Luc Godard; w/ Jean-Paul Belmondo,
Anna Karina
|
|
After abandoning his wife at a Parisian
party, whose other guests include Sam Fuller playing himself, bored
Belmondo flees his bourgeois existence with his children's babysitter
(Karina).
On the lam in the sun-soaked south of France, this "last romantic
couple," per Godard, battles gunrunners, gas station attendants,
and American tourists, all the while spontaneously bursting into snippets
of songs, enigmatic quotations, or oddball impersonations.

9:40 pm
Stavisky
1974/color/115 min. | Scr: Jorge Semprún; dir: Alain Resnais; w/
Jean-Paul Belmondo, Charles Boyer, François Périer, Anny
Duperey, Claude Rich, Michael Lonsdale
Resnais returned from a long hiatus with this voluptuous
film based on the real story of Serge Alexandre Stavisky, a small-time
swindler whose big connections elevated him to the level of international
financier, and whose downfall caused a major political scandal that almost
undid the French government in 1933.
Set in the seaside resort of Biarritz and boasting elegant art deco sets
and a Sondheim score, Resnais's Stavisky is no mere biography but an opulently
staged and delicately constructed meditation on the fragility of time.
Ticket Prices
$10 general admission.
$7 museum members, seniors (62+), students with valid ID.
Included: Your film ticket covers both films in a double bill, except
