Seuls en Scène 2025 presents a film screening of Les Amandiers by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi
September 18 • 7:30 pm
Free
Join us for a screening of Les Amandiers by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi. It follows a fascinating moment in contemporary French theater history when the public theater Nanterre Amandiers, led by Patrice Chéreau, housed a theater school. Bruni Tedeschi was among its first students, alongside other future prominent French screen and stage actors. The film revives the artistic dreams and fears of a generation of gifted drama students in the eighties and features a cohort of A-list newcomers in French cinema including Nina Tereszkiewicz, Vassili Schneider, and Noham Edje.
The film was part of the official selection of Cannes Film Festival 2022. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Micha Lescot nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the French Academy Awards for his role of Pierre Romans, the school’s director.
In collaboration with Princeton Film Festival Society.
