  Twenty-two years, 20 albums and over 15 million record sales later, Renaud's place in French hearts, songbooks and society is assured. Indeed, just last year a French poll named him the country’s sixth most popular living person.

  For the past four years, the INA – French National Institute of television and radio archives – has organised an annual visit to the archives containing more than 60 years of French television. Originally named « Les 24h de la télé » and now renamed « Les journées télécinéma », this event has enjoyed resounding success since its inception.
  Its principle is simply to allow the public to discover – or rediscover – the best of television on the big screen through the free screening of two selected programmes.
  This year will feature a film of approximately 30 minutes retracing several original, provocative, funny and moving moments in the history of television, followed by a 6-minutes educational film on access to the archives.

• Penrose as a collector, curator and apologist for Surrealism

  Penrose as a collector, curator and apologist for Surrealism
  Thursday 14 September at the Institut Français d'Ecosse
  at 6pm
  Admission free
  
  
  Tel.: 0131 225 5366
  contact@ifecosse.org.uk
  
  Elizabeth Cowling is interested in 20th-century European art and particularly in artists' working processes, techniques and use of sources.
  She will deliver a talk at the French Institute.
  
  Roland Penrose's lifelong love affair with France began in 1922 when he moved to Paris to study painting. In 1925 he married the poet Valentine Boué, through whom he met many of the leading Surrealists. Paul Eluard became a particularly close friend and it was through him that Penrose first met Picasso in 1936, shortly after the major Surrealist exhibition he helped to organise in London. Although he continued to practise as a painter, collagist and maker of 'objets surréalistes', after World War II Penrose became increasingly involved in arts administration, curating exhibitions and writing. In this talk Elizabeth Cowling, author of a recently published book about his forty-year relationship with Picasso, will talk mainly about Penrose as a collector, curator and apologist for Surrealism.

• Madeleine Peyroux at the Barbican

  Madeleine Peyroux at the Barbican
  13th December 2006
  tickets £27.50
  
  Madeleine Peyroux doesn’t simply interpret songs, she possesses them…and vice versa. Peyroux is either an old soul or was “born with it” (depending on one’s theory about the flashpoint of artistry); that became apparent in 1996, with the release of her debut album, Dreamland, a remarkably knowing work in which the then-22-year-old singer brought commensurate insightfulness to material associated with Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, and Patsy Cline. Her decision to cover Edith Piaf’s “La Vie en Rose” reflected the decade that the Georgia-born Peyroux had spent living in Paris, from ages 13 to 22. In the ten years since then, she has brought a wealth of life experience to her natural affinities, first manifested on the long-in-coming sophomore album Careless Love and brought to fruition on Peyroux’s new album Half the Perfect World.

During her audition for a music conservatory, Mélanie (Déborah – The Child) is distracted when the chairwoman of the jury – a well-known concert pianist, Ariane Fouchécourt – signs an autograph for a fan.

  Gabrielle a film by Patrice Chéreau Set in early twentieth-century France’s opulent belle époque, Gabrielle is the tale of a marriage that unravels and spins wildly out of control. Adaptated from Joseph Conrad’s short story, The Return, Chéreau (La Reine Margot, Intimacy)’s new film boldly explores the operatic emotions hidden just below the surface of bourgeois decorum, and confronts head-on the perils and pitfalls of a stable marriage.
