Documentary Under Focus At 'Reel To Real'

Ciné Lumière and the Médiathèque of the Institut Français have joined forces to present Real to Reel (November 6-12), a week of films and encounters with key documentarists and producers.
Comparing the direct cinema tradition of the UK with cinéma verité from France, Real to Reel will explore the differences and similarities in documentary practice in both countries. This season is being brought to the big screen in celebration of the 7th edition of France’s annual worldwide ‘Documentary Film Month’ (Le Mois du film documentaire).
There are three main themes running through the films: justice, resistance and the poetry and humour of people’s every-day lives.
The line-up includes:

  • a close-up look at a family during the painful weeks of the trial of their son’s murderer in Au Dela De La Haine

  • a compassionate account of the legal system in small-town Cameroon in Sisters In Law

  • the UK premiere of Christian Delage’s extraordinary film, Nuremberg, examining the role of documentary films at the Nuremberg Trial

  • the multi-award-winning Liberace of Baghdad, following a former Iraqi concert pianist fallen on hard times during the latest war in Iraq.
Screenings will be complemented by Q&As with the directors. Tickets can be purchased directly from Ciné Lumière At The Institut Français (17 Queensberry Place, SW7) or through the box office on 020 7073 1350. Tickets are priced between £4 and £7.
