The Paris Postgraduate Festival 2024 will be exploring the theme of INHERITANCE through performance, literature, film and art.
This summer we invite you to join us as we look to answer:
What do we borrow from the past?
What do we leave for the future?
Folktale and Cinema: Peau d’Âne
Come and watch our take on inheritance through film with a screening of Donkey Skin (Peau d’âne). The film explores how we remember stories common across many cultures that have entertained us for centuries and how we translate them onto the screen for modern audiences.
We are excited to be partnering with the Paris-based Lost in Frenchlation to bring this classic French literary tale to English-speaking audiences.
When: Tuesday 4 June at 6pm (doors to cinema close at 6:45pm)
Where: LUMINOR Hôtel de Ville, 20 rue du Temple, 75004 Paris
