The upcoming edition of the Toronto Film Festival is the second largestgathering for films and movie-buffs in the World, it brings to townmillions of images, dozens of films ready to be released … France takesa big chunk of this discoveries feast: our September 3rd newsletterunveils more of it !For music, do not forget Youssou N’Dour and his revered Super Etoilede Dakar, electro next wave with the French Touch of Miss Kittin,traditional langage from Provence mixed with athletic body slammingand drumming with Lo Cor de la Plana from Marseilles: they know howto breed good old folk-style repertoire with urban jungle. For now, theatrelisting is proud to offer no less than Beckett and Anouilh (performed inEnglish).Will Doctor Empereur discovering genius go as far as awakeningCleopatra ? Orlan, she is the one artist to get the future in her hands : herrestless quest ends by looping in the avant-garde; she moved from banalstreet performances to horrific self-morphing surgical procedures andlater to digitally generated images. Where is a World, there Artists are.

FRANCE AT THE TIFF

France and the Frenchspeaking world would not be outdone during the Toronto International Film Festival.

Focus on a selection of major french movies presented at the TIFF.

LA FILLE DE MONACODirector: Anne FontaineStarring: Fabrice Luchini,Roschdy Zem, Louise BourgoinNationality: FranceComedyRunning time: 1h 35

Bertrand (Fabrice Luchini) is abrilliant lawyer, highly culturedand very media-savvy. He loveswomen –but only for conversa-tional purposes– and goes toMonaco to defend a septuage-narian accused of murder. Security guard Christophe

(Roshdy Zem), a skilled sports-man, is acting as Bertrand’sbodyguard.

An honest and reserved youngman, he is not highly educatedand admires in others all the cul-ture and mastery of languagethat he lacks.Ambitious, sexy and bold, Au-drey (Louise Bourgoin) is aweather-girl for a cable TV chan-nel in Monaco, but has no inten-tion of spending the rest of hercareer there. It would have beenfar better if these three hadnever met up… A lively comedywhere one-liners vie withsparkling dialogue, La fille deMonaco is a caustic portrayal ofambition and power in the glam-orous world of the principality.

Gala Presentation LA FILLE DE MONACO

LE POINT“ Anne Fontaine leads her lover triangle with a macciavellian verve ”

STUDIO MAGAZINELouise Bourgoin: “ One of the wonderful revelations of the year ”

CANAL +“ An ambiguous and magnificiently interpreted trio ”

Le Genou d’ArtémideJean-Marie StraubStarring : Andrea Bacci andDario MarconciniGenres:Art/Foreign and shortfilmNationality: France and ItalyRunning Time: 26 minItalian, with English subtitles

Le Genou d’Artemide, Straub’sfirst solo-directed film followingHuillet’s passing, is an ode tothe wonders of nature, itswhistling wind and glorious raysof sun flickering through thetrees; it’s also, a personal lovepoem. The dialogues areadapted from Cesare Paveselike many of Straub and Huillet’sprevious films, and fittingly it isabout the vast distance betweena mortal and the woman heloves, a goddess of dreams whoencompasses all that is wild andwonderful, beastly and beautifulin the world.

After the dialogue, a series ofwide-angle pans treat us to anear panoptic, re splendent vi-sion of a humanless forest, end-ing cryptically on what seems agrave or monument amongstthe tree. Its screening in TIFF’sWavelengths series, is the inter-national premiere following thefilm’s screening at La Quinzainedes réalisateurs in Cannes.

Since his childhood, Vieux FarkaTouré has been deeply inspired bythe music of his legendary two-timeGrammy Award-winning father, AliFarka Touré. Growing up in Mali’scapital, Bamako and his father’shometown of Niafunké in the Sa-hara - both teeming with rich musi-cal life - Vieux developedremarkable talents as a drummerand calabash player. After defyinghis father's wishes, Vieux wastaken under the wing of the world'spremier kora player Toumani Dia-bate. Recognizing Vieux’s abilities,Toumani urged Ali to accept hisson’s chosen path. He finallyagreed, and under Toumani’s artis-tic guidance, Vieux flourished. Heperformed in France and SouthAfrica and even began to accom-pany his father on guitar. At thesame time, his own stunning com-positions introduced new soundsand influences into the tradition ofdesert blues from Northern Mali.

In 2005, Vieux reconnected with hisfriend Eric Herman, a North Ameri-can musician and producer with

whom Vieux had played while hewas a student at the Arts Institute.Both Vieux and Eric realized that itwas time that Vieux record hisdebut album. They quickly got towork in the studio to record an

album for Herman’s label, ModibaProductions. Toumani agreed tocontribute his awesome talent ontwo of the tracks. Meanwhile, Ali -growing increasingly ill with cancer- performed his final recordings forVieux’s album. This was the ulti-mate expression of approval of hisson’s path, and in these historicrecordings at Studio Bogolan, Aliofficially passed Vieux the torchwith which to light his way.

Lo Còr de la Plana (pronounce "Loocooar day la plan") is a male en-semble from the quarter of LaPlaine in Marseille. Six singers ac-companied by percussion instru-ments (bendirs and tamburello),"picaments" on their feet and"bataments" on their hands.Founded in 2001, the formation haslaunched into the systematic re-in-vention of popular Occitan heritage.With unrivalled passion they sing all

repertoires, from the most religiousto the most unfettered, the repeti-tive to the occasional (quite oftenat the same time!). Lo Còr has this

new, definitive desire to do awaywith "traditional" song, to crossswords with vocal music andpolyphony, even if it means stirringup those who would like to seethese music forms die a death inchapels... Our singers are every-where: in churches, factories, bars,festivals or theatres, and do nothesitate to mix disconcerting pa-ganism of old Occitan backgroundswith the preoccupations of Marseillemusicians of today. They do not re-nounce any influence, from Bartokto Massilia Sound System, or anyorigin, from Oran to Arles, as theironly ambition is to evoke andresonate in their music all that their

city and the world around it hasgiven them in terms of sounds. Apolice siren, a newborn baby, theremains of a paradise or a fantasy-land, a drunken party, sheep,wolves... In short, the peaceful,heady passion of day-to-day life!...

TThheeaattrreeTThheeaattrreeThe play is a development

of the title, Waiting for Godot. Hedoes not come and the two trampsresume their vigil by the tree,which between the first and secondday has sprouted a few leaves, theonly symbol of a possible order in athoroughly alienated world.

Jonathan Hirsh and RyanSeeley are Remain In Light: ayoung new theatrical productioncompany with a mandate to rein-vent classic plays with an edgy,contemporary and relevant twist.

Remain in Light’s re-imagined ver-sion of Samuel Beckett’s classic

tragic-comedy is an expressionisticWWII dreamscape set to the musicof Joy Division. The play builds onBeckett’s ideas and images and issuffused with tenderness, violence,hope and darkness in an attempt toreawaken the beauty and complex-ity of Beckett’s original work.

According to Hirsh and Seeley, “thisis a play that will eventually disap-pear from our social conscience if itisn’t given enough attention. Itneeds our attention like a Leo ontheir birthday. Like all great playsthat aren’t given a new birth,Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" willget old and bitter and cease to bethe thing it used to be inspiring.

Soulpepper present one of themost elegant, gifted and versatilewriters on the 20th century Euro-pean stage. This play, in a transla-tion by the equally gifted Englishpoet and playwright ChristopherFry (The Lady’s Not for Burning), isa lavish and delightful romp set in a1940s French chateau.The play concerns two twins, acold, manipulative playboy Hugo,and his sensitive brother Frédéric.Frédéric is madly in love withDiana, the spoiled daughter of aself-made millionaire.

She herself wants Hugo, as his im-penetrability teases her.

In order to show to Frédéric thatDiana is not worth his attentions,Hugo invites to a ball Isabelle, alower-class dancer, whom he Pyg-malion-like transforms into anaristocratic beauty.

It is sometimes said that the besttravel is in the imagination. If this istrue, get ready for an unforgettablearound-the-world trip as Claire Jenk-ins, Amélie Lefebvre and Lyne Trem-blay launch the second season ofsong cabarets sponsored by the Al-liance Française of Toronto.

The premise of Si la ville m’étaitchantée is quite simple, mapping outan itinerary through songs that fea-ture mythical cities as their backdropsand even as their main characters.Strange nights are evoked in Bilbao(by Weil and Brecht, as reinterpretedby the incomparable Vian); a paledawn light breaks over Parisianboulevards (in Jacques Dutronc’s Ilest cinq heures, Paris s’éveille); anostalgic feast is prepared for us inSyracuse (thanks, Mr. Salvador!);mounds of snow await us in Montreal(where Charlebois blends in with

winter year after year). Each songwill evoke dreams and thrill audi-ences. In addition, these crossedvoices will deliver a heartfelt homageto Toronto.

A sensitive and sensual performer,Lyne Tremblay is well known to jazzand cabaret fans in Toronto. Sheshared the stage last spring with theirrepressible Amélie Lefebvre in Et sion chantait? at the Théâtre français deToronto. This summer, Amélie criss-crossed the country with the Franco-force tour. Toronto author-composerClaire Jenkins has also recently com-pleted a Canada-wide tour; we’re wa-

gering she’ll be the big surprise formany in the audience on the eveningof September 19.

French philosopher and phenome-nologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty(1908-1960) is perhaps best knownfor his criticisms of traditional,dualistic conceptions of mind andbody, and his argument that mean-ing happens not within a private,individual consciousness but withinan embodied and expressive en-gagement with the world andothers. Merleau-Ponty’s concep-tions of embodiment, expression,and being have far-reaching impli-cations for how we understandfreedom, selfhood, time and space,interpersonal relations, and humancreativity; and it has been having atransformative effect across diversefields of study, including psychol-ogy, sociology, anthropology, poli-tics, architecture, art history, filmstudies, linguistics, and cognitivesciences.

This conference, which has thespecial distinction of celebrating thecentenary of Merleau-Ponty’s birth, will focus upon the implications ofMerleau-Ponty’s thought for an un-derstanding of Time, Memory, and

Self. Some particular topics to bediscussed are: the peculiar form of memory produced by trauma, therelation between memory and self-identity, the nature of time, and theethical ramifications of our own fini-tude and historical situatedness.The conference features some ofthe world’s top scholars in conti-nental philosophy and other inter-nationally renowned thinkers,including Bernhard Waldenfels(Bochum, Germany), Edward Casey(Stonybrook, USA), ElizabethBehnke (Study Project in Phenome-

nology of the Body, USA), LeonardLawlor (Memphis, USA), VéroniqueFoti (Penn State, USA), John O’Neill(York, Canada).The conference is sponsored by:Ryerson University’s Department ofPhilosophy, Office of the Dean ofArts, Office of Research Services;and Concordia University.

From plastic surgery interventionsand performances to photographyand digital works, ORLAN has beena formidable presence in contem-porary art for over four decades.Since the 1960s, her work has tran-scended the numerous “ post- ” and“ -ism ” of the art world’s differentmovements, all the while interro-gating our bodies and identities,questioning art’s relation to life,and testing the lines between thereal and the virtual.

“Few artists have dismantled ourideas of who and what we are as

forcefully as ORLAN,”says SimoneJones, Associate Dean of theFaculty of Art. “As well as blurringthe boundaries between gendersand races, ORLAN merges the liv-

ing and artificial, the human and in-human, the real and virtual.”“We’re thrilled that OCAD studentswill have the chance to learn, col-laborate and experiment with oneof the most exciting and provoca-tive French artists of our time,”says Joel Savary, Cultural Attachéat the Consulate General of Francein Toronto.

Extract of a discussion betweenHAns Ulrich Obricht and Orlan:

Hans Ulrich Obricht: You began thesurgery-performances in 1979? I’dlike to talk about the beginning, inLyon, during a performance festi-val.

Olran: A festival I ran for 5 years.

Hans Ulrich Obrist: True, you werethe organizer, but in instance therewas an emergency, right? So youweren’t able to “construct” theimage…

Hespent several years in Greece asSecretary General of France Ar-chaeological School of in Athens.As a specialist in Hellenistic tradehe has directed underwater notonly in Greece but also in Cyprusas well as Turkey.

In 1990, Dr Empereur establishedthe Centre d’Etudes Alexandrineswhose mandate is the study of theantiquities and the history ofAlexandria especially through theoperation of salvage excavationsboth within the centre of the cityand underwater, such as the workundertaken at the fort of Qaitbaybetween 1994 and 1998. Indeed,in 1994, several excavations inAlexandria harbour led to the dis-covery of many archeologicalremains: 5000 architecturalblocks weighing up to 75 tons,columns, capitals, huge brokenstatues, a dozen sphinxes, andabove all the undisputable re-mains of the lighthouse itself. A12-metre door made of Aswangranite was virtually reassem-

bled. Some gigantic statuesthat used to stand against thelighthouse, representing Ptole-maic kings and queens, werefound right next to their pedestal.

Dr Empereur has published sev-eral books and articles dealingwith Greek antiquity and most re-cently with his discoveries inAlexandria. Three documentaryfilms have been produced on thetremendous work he has under-taken on the famous Pharos andthe ancient city of Alexandria.

The Alexandria of Cleopatra

Cleopatra was born in Alexandria,lived there for most of her life andwas buried there. We will follow

Cleopatra’s footsteps through itscity streets, stopping to admire thearchitectural masterpieces built bythe Ptolemy kings who precededher during three centuries as well

as the monuments she builtherself, palaces, temples andtombs.

This stroll through the city ofCleopatra will be an homage toAlexandria the Magnificent, ameeting place for the two greatcivilizations of the ancientMediterranean, with this queenacting as a guide, whose culture,political acumen and charmalmost disrupted the fate of theworld.

“As the wife of an engraverand knowing how difficult it is tobe recognized as such, I learnedthat the craft of engraving wasdying out and that the number ofengravers who existed would de-crease as the years went by.To my great surprise, I discoveredthat this was simply not true.Today there are still many en-gravers and they are scatteredeverywhere. Perhaps they are hiding out in anticipation of betterdays, sometimes giving up in dis-couragement. Well, this exhibitionis dedicated to them.

ART goes directly to the heart andnot to the intellect as so-called artwants us to believe, described ascontemporary. Art IS the Heart.”

How to share the street? The streetis somewhere we walk, live, work,parade, sometimes jostle, some-times even collide; a multitude ofactivities that intersect and inter-cept, making it a place of encounterand of conflict: for better and forworse!And in all the cities of the world, thesame questions: who is the streetfor? who does it belong to? who de-cides, controls, oversees? How canwe reconcile all the speeds, all themethods of transport, the needs ofresidents and passersby, of shop-keepers...? How do we make itreadable, fluid? How much shouldadvertising, business, freedom ofexpression, art, be able to havetheir say in the street, take posses-sion of the street?

Organized by the Paris-based IVM,Institut pour la ville en mouvement[City on the Move] and produced for North America by the DesignCentre at the University of Quebecat Montreal, the exhibition asks the

fundamental question: How do weshare the street (which belongs to

all of us!)? It explores the cities ofthe five continents through an au-diovisual installation, personal nar-ratives, illustrations andexplorations, architectural andurban design projects, and morethan a hundred photographs fromthe archives of the big internationalpress agencies.

The exhibition is supported by theCity of Montreal, and the Torontopresentation is facilitated by the
