Cinéclub for May: two films will be screened
29 May, 6.00pm
Drama: Timbuktu/ Abderrahmane Sissako/ 2014/ 100mins
In town, Timbuktu, the people suffer, powerless, from the regime of terror imposed by the Jihadists determined to control their faith. Music, laughter, cigarettes, even soccer have been banned. The women have become shadows but resist with dignity. Every day, the new improvised courts issue tragic and absurd sentences.
A cattle herder and his family who reside in the dunes of Timbuktu find their quiet lives — which are typically free of the Jihadists determined to control their faith — abruptly disturbed.
Timbuktu is “ a timely film with a powerful message” and has won many international accalodes.
30 May, 5.30pm
Comedy: 9 mois ferme/ 9 Month Stretch/ Albert Dupontel/ 2013/ 82 min
Ariane Felder is pregnant. This is all the more surprising since this examining magistrate is an old-fashioned single person. But even more surprising is the fact that, according to DNA tests, the father is no other than Bob, a criminal prosecuted for atrocious assault and battery. Ariane, who does not remember anything, tries to understand what happened.
Entry is free.
