Cork French Film Festival 2012
Farrebique ou Les quatre saisons
Farrebique, the first feature-length effort of French documentary filmmaker Georges Rouqier, is widely regarded as his finest film.
20:00 Tue 08 March, 2011 @ English Market
Rouqier concentrates on a single French farming family, following them through the four seasons. As in the works of Robert Flaherty, the human characters and the land surrounding them are “one”, and Rouqier never misses an opportunity to parallel their lives with the old phases of nature. The final symbolic images of Spring, achieved through time- lapse photography, are almost unbearingly beautiful.
Screening and live accordion music. Supper afterwards by Farmgate Café and On the Pig’s Back
Tickets €30 and available from: Farmgate Café, On the Pig’s Back and Alliance Française de Cork
