Cinema at the Bruce and Focus on French Film present: Colours of Time
Colours of Time
A group of strangers, all descendants of a woman named Adèle Meunier, are gathered in Normandy. The town would like to purchase her long-abandoned property, and four “cousins” are tasked with overseeing the transaction. Thus begins a genealogical journey into the past, taking us to 1895 Paris, with the City of Light on the brink of an industrial and cultural revolution. Aptly entitled “The Coming of the Future” in French, Colours of Time literally plunges us into a moment in time when Parisian creativity is at its apex… when not only electricity and technology, but photography and Impressionism in painting and music are creating a spark that’s about to erupt into a movement far beyond anyone’s expectations.
The movie will start promptly at 2pm. There will be a conversation between Joe Meyers and Beth Gersh Nesic following the film. Registration is required and seats are limited.
Additional parking: Island Beach parking lot, Steamboat Road, Steamboat Road Commuter Garage, Museum Drive.
