PADFAS's first monthly lecture of the new season will take place on Thursday, 10th. October, at 3pm. It is entitled

"Dickens, Lawrence and Zhivago: David Lean's Art of Cinema".

It will be held at Théâtre du Ranelagh, 5 rue des Vignes, 75016 Paris

Neil Falkner will explore how, in the "golden age" of cinema, the British director, David Lean, "imagined" the world he sought to represent and had sets constructed to represent landscapes, townscapes and interiors. Such images constitute modern art forms.

The charge for non-PADFAS members is €15, payable either by cheque made out to PADFAS, or in cash, on the spot. There is no need to register.

(For PADFAS members, please not that the AGM will take place before the lecture, from 2pm and drinks will be served after it, before the lecture begins.)
