Windows On Europe Film Festival 13 > 17 April 2011 The Garden of Forking Paths: The Films of Alain Resnais April - may 2011 Alain Resnais is one of the key figures of post-World War II cinema: a precise and adventurous director whose work relentlessly and poetically explores the themes of time, memory and traumatic recent history. Initially trained as an actor, Resnais' early documentary films examined the work of painters and other artists, and betrayed a preference for endlessly tracking camera movement and literary scripts that have continued to characterise his 60-year career. Preoccupied with British, American and French culture, the popular and the avantgarde, Resnais has collaborated with a number of the key figures of modernist post-war French literature (Marguerite Duras,

Drawing from the diverse and rich cultures of Europe, the Windows On Europe Film Festival brings together awardwinning films from across the European Union.

The Polish film puts a focus on history while Portugal gives us a documentary interlaced with music and romance. The young and the young at heart will enjoy the Finnish film while the Slovenian entry provides a mix of thriller and horror.

Influenced by the philosophy of Bergson, the memory-entranced literature of Proust, the Hollywood and French films of the 1930s, and American comic books, his cinema is both archaic and profoundly modern.

Red Light Dark Room 9 > 25 April

© Gemma-Rose Turnbull

Interview with Gemma-Rose Turnbull who shared in the daily lives of marginalised women over the recent months.

Her encounters have given rise to an exhibition and a book.

Who is Gemma-Rose Turnbull?

Qui est Gemma-Rose Turnbull ?

I am an Australian photographer, who specialises in photographing the lives of women. I studied documentary photography at the Queensland College of Art, graduating in 2005.

Je suis une photographe australienne, spécialisée dans la photographie de femmes dans leur quotidien. Diplômée en 2005, j’ai étudié la photographie documentaire au Queensland College of Art.

After completing my degree I spent two years as a photographer with The Northern Star, a daily newspaper based in Lismore, Australia. While I was there I was named NSW News Photographer of the Year 2007 for a series on the funerals of four young men killed in the same car accident. Ironically it was also the story that saw me make a decision to leave newspaper work and concentrate on long-term projects, which I find much more rewarding.

Après ma licence, j’ai travaillé pendant deux ans comme photographe au quotidien The Northern Star de Lismore, Nouvelle Galles du Sud (NSW). J’ai été nommée photographe journalistique de NSW de l’année 2007 pour une série sur les funérailles de quatre jeunes hommes tués dans un même accident de la route.

Ironie du sort, c’est ce même reportage qui m’a poussé à quitter la presse pour me concentrer sur des projets de longue -6-

Exhibition Red Light Dark Room Opening & Book Launch Sat 9 April 4pm to 7pm Venue Alliance Française Eildon Gallery 51 Grey Sreet St Kilda

9 > 25 April 2011 In 2008 I was awarded the Mary Clerc Scholarship for Achievements in Photojournalism to attend the Missouri Photo Workshop in America, an experience that changed the way I approached storytelling, narrowing my focus to more intimate stories.

How did the project "Red Light Dark Room; Sex, lives and stereotypes" begin?

In early 2010 I was awarded an Australia Council for the Arts Connections Residency to do a residency with nonprofit organisation St Kilda Gatehouse to teach, photograph and interview the marginalised women who use their services. This project gives a voice to these women. It paints a rare picture of real women, with real hearts, who care about family, have friendships, and dreams. These stories cover the hardship, but also the episodes in their lives which bring them joy and fulfillment.

En 2008 j’ai reçu la bourse Mary Clerc pour mes travaux en photojournalisme afin d’assister à l’atelier photo du Missouri aux Etats-Unis. Cette expérience a changé ma manière d’appréhender la narration, et a fait basculer mon intérêt pour des histoires plus intimes.

Quelle est l'origine du projet "Red Light Dark Room; sex, lives and stereotypes" ?

Début 2010, devenue lauréate d’une résidence Connections du Conseil des arts de l’Australie pour une résidence avec l’organisation à but non lucratif St Kilda Gatehouse, j’ai été amenée à enseigner, photographier et interviewer les femmes marginalisées qui ont recours à leurs services. Ce projet donne la parole à ces femmes. Il dépeint une image rare de vraies femmes qui ont du cœur et pour qui, la famille, les amitiés et les rêves, importent.

9 > 25 April 2011 Because of these things it is hard to build trust with and engage women who work in the profession, however working with St Kilda Gatehouse allowed me to build on the trust they had already established. This allowed the project to come about much more quickly than it otherwise would have.

notamment des agressions physiques et sexuelles, des mauvais traitements de la part des passants, une instabilité quant au logement, des incarcérations et des difficultés financières continues.

A cause de cela, il est difficile d’établir une relation de confiance avec elles.

The Seven Deadly Sins

Patrice Martin de Barros 3 March > 1 April For a while, I’ve tried to imagine how I could represent the seven cardinal sins through photography. To define greed or envy was difficult to imagine. For this reason, I first decided to write the seven poems, then I had to create a photographic link with them.

Each photo is a story - ‘ours’ -

where nothing is really a sin, but rather a way of being. Let’s think back to 1600 years ago, with the little vices that we live through today in our daily lives.

What was senseless back then no longer is today. The white background to each photo represents the void where vice leads to. Or more simply, a little bit of everyone living with sins. ”

The d a n s e project deals with the way movement is produced by a dancer. Through the practice of a dynamic set of movement-making tools, the dancer’s attention is focussed on how movements form, by the creation of movement rather than the representation of it.

Rosalind Crisp has invited three artists to collaborate on a work that takes them to the edge of their capacities, stripped back, living by their wits, not waiting for the end...

She has chosen three artists equally engaged in their own - 19 -

Dominique Fillon

On a tour that will take them through Asia and Australia, Dominique Fillon and his Australian musicians will join you on 17 April, at Bennets Lane, Melbourne's temple of jazz.

Three years after his first album, Détours, comes a new testimony to Dominique’s rich musical heritage, Americas. Resembling a voyage from north to south across the New World, Americas features diverse musical styles, always leaning to the fusion of influences.

Dominique Fillon enjoys combining these rhythms and sounds in his compositions, adding his personality and originality to these genres that inspire him so.

On the album, samba meets gospel piano, while cha-cha-cha meets the accents of the West Coast. But what stands out most when listening to Americas is the priority which is given to melody, the starting point for Fillon when he composes. With a true attachment to song, Dominique is

also an arranger, having worked notably on several Sanseverino albums, as well as touring and recording with the likes of Angélique Kidjo, Jimmy Cliff, Dave Weckl and Bernard Lavilliers.

Dominique’s soundscapes have an amazing capacity to absorb the beauty and romantic soul of the landscapes he traverses. They are reminiscent of Lyle Mays, one of his influences along with Oscar Peterson. For this new project, recorded in Chicago by Grammy Award-winning Helik Hadar (of Herbie Hancock, Madeleine Peyroux, fame), the pianist has chosen to play in a quartet, allowing for those precious solos with another musician.

French jazz star Dominique Fillon will be joined by well-known Aus- 20 -

tralian musicians Brett Hirst and Nic Cecire on his tour of Asia and Australia, as well as by accompanying guest musicians joining the trio in each city.

For more information visit www.dominiquefillon.com www.myspace/dominiquefillon Sun 17 April, 9.00pm Bennets Lane, 25 Bennets Lane.

AllianceFrançaise de Melbourne

Christine Béal’s research in a French company in Melbourne in the 1990s was the first detailed study to analyse daily interactions between French and Australian English speakers in the workplace, in an attempt to understand why Australians thought the French were “rude” or “arrogant”, and the French perceived Australians as “wishywashy” or “insincere”. The study of French-Australian relations has become an area of lifelong study for Christine Béal and a number of other researchers such as Kerry Mullan, whose aim is to inform others of the different interactional styles of these speakers, and ultimately to get rid of such negative labelling and stereotyping.

Chair

Diane de Saint Léger is an applied linguist and a lecturer in French Studies in the School of Languages and Linguistics at The University of Melbourne.

Speakers

Dr Christine Béal is a professeur agrégée in English, Senior Lecturer in Linguistics and Communication and Head of the département des Sciences du langage at l'université Paul Valéry Montpellier 3. Her recent book examines everyday interaction.

Dr Kerry Mullan is lecturer and coordinator of French Studies at RMIT University. Her recent book Join us for an evening of intercultural examines the distinct styles of exchange as our speakers discuss French and Australian English speakers in the expression of their findings in these areas. opinions.
