Grand and Nouvelles Dames of French-Language Cinema

In collaboration with Aïssa Maïga’s keynote appearance at the University of Notre Dame in March, this course focuses on classic French-language cinema as well as French-language films that transcend national boundaries, depicting movements and individuals who go beyond borders and allow us to understand how current cinematic creations are not limited to “Franco-French” actors and productions, but extend around the globe. The focus for that will be performances by some of the most famous and award-winning French actresses of the last generations, while incorporating performances from French-language actresses who have recently appeared on the scene, bringing new voices and freshness to the pantheon of great female performances.
