50th Anniversary of the Nouvelle Vague
October 30–November 1, 2009
İstanbul Modern Cinema is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Nouvelle Vague as part of the Pera Fest, between 30 October-1 November. The Nouvelle Vague movement that emerged in French cinema in the late 1950s introduced a brand-new language that was deftly employed by such “cinematic authors” as Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard, Éric Rohmer, François Truffaut, and Agnès Varda. Don’t miss this opportunity to see a group of films that summed up the creative energies of a generation.
