Crossing Borders:
Cahiers du Cinéma, Vertigo
and independent film

23 - 29 june at Ciné lumière




In a unique week-long event, legendary French film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma and Vertigo, the UK’s leading independent journal of the moving image, are collaborating on an invigorating presentation of the very best in imaginative, innovative and always resonant world cinema.

The encounter between the two magazines will also mark the relaunch of Vertigo as a quarterly magazine with the publication of its first, expanded issue and a newly designed website.

Founded in 1951, the Cahiers du Cinema was in its early days intimately involved with the Nouvelle Vague, publishing essays by Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Chris Marker and Claude Chabrol, among others. A reference for cinephiles the world over, and recognised for its consistently high standard of film criticism, the Cahiers has recently branched out to cover experimental cinema and other forms of moving image.

Showcasing a dozen dynamic new and recent features, including UK premieres and rare screenings for little-seen and important work, the season will defend difference and diversity in film culture, with director Q&As and three major discussion events contextualising the programme.  Particular highlights include the UK premieres of Chris Marker’s Chats Perchés and Xavier Beauvois’ Le Petit Lieutenant. The season will look at the role played by both magazines in developing a broad film culture, and the influence of experimental work and world cinema on the aesthetics of contemporary cinema.

Guest speakers will include Cahiers du Cinéma editors Jean-Michel Frodon and Emmanuel Burdeau, Vertigo editors Holly Aylett and Gareth Evans, screenwriter Tony Grisoni, documentary maker Ken Fero, writer Iain Sinclair and others.
