L’art français au cinéma: French Art In Cinema arrives at the Hi-Pointe Theatre April 3–12, inviting audiences into a rich, stylish celebration of how the arts have shaped the history of French cinema. From the dazzling silent-era charm of The Artist to the breathtaking movement of La Danse, the luminous portrait Divine Sarah Bernhardt, and the bold, unforgettable storytelling of Persepolis, the program traces a lineage of creativity, performance, and visual imagination. Opening night sets the tone with the Midwest Premiere of Bienvenue en Islande by Andre Nerman, launching two weekends of films in which painting, dance, theater, and music pulse through the frame.
