Dear Sir/Madam,
Kindly publish the below press release in your daily: Saturday 6th September at 3.00 pm *THE CHILDREN OF PARADISE *: FIRST PERIOD BOULEVARD OF CRIME (Les Enfants du paradis : première époque: boulevard du crime) by Marcel Carné (1943) 1h43 Free for members of Alliance Française Panjim. Donations accepted for non members. *Free pop corn*! Summary: Children of Paradise is divided into two epochs, Boulevard du Crime ("Boulevard of Crime") and L'Homme Blanc ("The Man in White"). The first begins around 1827, the second about seven years later. The action takes place mainly in the neighborhood of the Boulevard du Temple in Paris because of all the melodramas and bloody scenarios offered to the largely plebeian public each evening. There are two principal theaters: the Théâtre des Funambules ("Theater of Tightrope Walkers") specializes in pantomime, since the authorities do not allow it to use spoken dialogue, which is reserved for the "official" venue, the Grand Theater. It is there, in this landscape of theater and magic, that Garance meets Frédérick Lemaître, a budding actor, and Baptiste Deburau, a theater mime. Both of the two men like Garance, who has a preference for Baptiste. But this one is loved by Nathalie, whose father owns the theater. One day, Baptiste and Frédérick replace the two actors immediatly. Success is immediate! Baptiste gets Garance hired as well, to Nathalie’s discontent and to Earl Montrays' deepest pleasure, who comes to admire her every evening... Second part of the movie, *The Man in white*, will be screened Saturday 13th September at 3.00pm. The movie has been selected to Cannes Film festival in 2011 for the classics category. Further details may be obtained by calling 0832 – 2420049. Best regards, Laurène Gibert Director Alliance Française, Panjim H.
