Rooftop Film: The Young Girls of Rochefort

Aug 29

  • Admission: $20
  • Time: 8:45 PM to 11:00 PM

Join us for a rooftop film screening of The Young Girls of Rochefort (126 min) by Jacques Demy, presented by the Winnipeg Film Group.

One of the most gifted filmmakers to emerge during the French New Wave, Jacques Demy created a fascinating body of work characterized by fate and coincidence, doomed love, and storybook romance. His frequent collaborations with composer Michel Legrand give another distinctive quality to his melancholic tales of love. These films—ranging from musical to melodrama to fantasy—are triumphs of brilliant color, exquisite framing, and elegantly choreographed camera work.

This August, the Winnipeg Film Group is excited to present The New Wave Musicals of Jacques Demy in a series of film screenings on the WAG Rooftop Sculpture Garden.
