The American Cinematheque presents Wednesdays In Marseille, a film series featuring the West Coast Premiere of
the urban tale, THE MAGNET (2000) the first feature directed by rap group
leader Akhenaton and friend Kamel Saleh. Kamel Saleh will appear in person
for discussion at the screening. Copies of the limited edition French
version of the soundtrack will be given away to the first 200 audience
members. This film series is being presented in connection with the cultural
celebration "Provence in Los Angeles.". At 2600 years old, Marseille is the
oldest city in France, with its port facing the famous Chateau d'If where
the Man in the Iron Mask and the Count of Monte Cristo were imprisoned.
Marseille has been the background for many filmmakers, from the Bros.
Lumiere, Louis Feuillade and Jean-Pierre Melville to William Friedkin and
John Frankenheimer. Please join us for a visit to the old neighborhood of
Marseille, Le Panier, with THE MAGNET, then, rediscover Provence, the land
of Marcel Pagnol (JEAN DE FLORETTE and MANON OF THE SPRING), with Pagnol's
adaptation of THE BAKER'S WIFE, followed by director Yves Robert's
adaptation of Pagnol's autobiographical stories of his childhood in the
hills of Provence, MY MOTHER'S CASTLE and MY FATHER'S GLORY. All films in
French with English subtitles unless noted otherwise. All guests subject to
their availability. All screenings are at the newly renovated Lloyd E.
Rigler Theatre at the historic Egyptian (6712 Hollywood Boulevard between
Highland and Las Palmas) in Hollywood.
On display in the Egyptian Theatre lobby throughout this series will be
"Visions of Provence," an exhibition of vintage tour posters (1895 - 1965)
from the collection of the Marseille - Provence Commerce Chamber. For more
