On Set with French Cinema: Bruno Dumont

On Set with French Cinema is an annual program through which illustrious French directors share their filmmaking experiences with American audiences.  This year marks the Boston-area debut of the program, which will celebrate the work of Bruno Dumont. Often compared to Robert Bresson, Dumont studied philosophy and trained as a director of television commercials and industrial films.  He incorporates a documentary-like naturalism into his bold cinematic works such as Humanity, which was awarded top prizes at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival. His most recent film, Twentynine Palms, further challenged filmgoers with its graphic depiction of sexuality and violence. This program includes Dumont's three feature films along with a rare appearance by the director himself.
