The Tournées Festival/Film Today: 'White Material'

CalArts, Bijou Theater

White Material
Claire Denis
2008 / 102 min.

FILM/VIDEO: Marking the first collaboration between two titans of French cinema—director Claire Denis and actress Isabelle Huppert—White Material unfolds as a fever dream, a haunting, enigmatic look at the horrors of colonialism’s legacy, a subject that Denis first explored in her semiautobiographical debut feature, Chocolat (1988). 

This event is part of The Tournées Festival, the weekly series of new French films on campus.

Support for the Tournées Festival is provided by:

• The French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs / The Centre National de la Cinématographie
