OPENING NIGHT GALA SCREENING + RECEPTION

Piano teacher Alice (Alba Rohrwacher) lives in a small seaside town. She and Mathieu (Guillaume Canet), a well-known actor living in Paris, have not seen each other since separating 15 years ago. They meet again by chance when Mathieu makes a retreat to a luxury spa in the seaside town where Alice lives, and although time has passed, essential questions remain between them. Reminiscent of classics such as Truffaut’s The Woman Next Door or Lelouch’s A Man and a Woman, Stéphane Brizé (Another World; The Measure of Man) creates a timeless romance about the ghosts of love.

The screening on Wednesday 13th will be followed by a wine reception.

The screening on Saturday 23rd will be followed by a Q&A with Stéphane Brizé.

We are delighted to welcome Stéphane for a Masterclass/In Conversation event with film critic and journalist, Paul Whitington on Saturday 23rd at 12.30. More info can be found here.
