Greetings everyone!
It seems this month shall be especially bountiful for all you film lovers out there! We begin September with a festival celebrating the filmmaker Jacques Demy. Those in the know may commence frothing at the mouth. Even better, there's another festival close on this one's heels (but more on that later). We wish to thank the Alliance Française d'Ahmedabad for making this possible. Please do them the courtesy of a visit: www.afindia.org/ahmedabad

Jacques Demy was one of the big guns of the French New Wave. His style was distinct from those of his colleagues, who included Godard and Truffaut. For some reason, in this place his name does not have the "pull" characteristic for the others'. A peculiar situation, one which we hope to set to rights. After this you will have something to talk about, at those discussions.
