The screening will be held on SATURDAY, 26th October evening 3:30 PM onwards, at the Odissi Research Centre Auditorium, Xavier Square, Bhubaneswar (Mo Bus Stop: Xavier Square). Film Notes 26 October (Saturday), 2024 3.30 pm Two Girls on the Street Dir: Andre De Toth (Hungary/1939/79 mins/B&W) Two upwardly mobile working women—one a musician in an all-girl band, the other a bricklayer—join forces in their attempts to make it in Budapest, supporting each other through changing fortunes, the advances of men, experiencing the vicissitudes of love. Kinetic camera work, brisk editing, and avant-garde imagery abound in modern ode to the power of working-class female solidarity. Andre De Toth (1913-2002) made his early works in Hungary, he tried to bring novelty to Hungarian Cinema. He escaped to the US, after the Nazis took over Hungary during WWII, starting another career in Hollywood known for his Westerns and Noir films. ----- 5.30 pm Let the Sunshine In Dir: Claire Denis (France/2017/95 mins/Colour) Two luminaries of French cinema, Claire Denis and Juliette Binoche, unite for the first time in this piercing look at the elusive nature of true love. In a richly layered performance, Binoche plays Isabelle, a successful painter in Paris whose apparent independence belies what she desires most: real romantic fulfilment. Let the Sunshine In finds bleak humour in a cutting truth: we are all, no matter our age, fools for love. Claire Denis (b. 1948) is a Paris-based filmmaker and one of the major artistic voices of contemporary French cinema. Regards Secretary FSB
