About

Before the screening of A Journey Through French Cinema 2016, join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion moderated by Amy Bergman (Alliance Française de Brisbane) featuring Dr. Joe Hardwick (UQ), Dr. Margaret McVeigh (Griffith Film School), Dr. Ruari Elkington (QUT), and Dr. Sophie Hopmeier (Australian Cinémathèque).

In a broad-ranging conversation about the profound contributions of France to the world of cinema, the panel will share personal reflections and scholarly insights into the nation's film history and the indelible impact of its filmmakers and films. Spanning the early days of French cinema to its evolution and current global influence, the discussion will set the stage for a deeper appreciation of Tavernier's documentary.
