Of course, when all this began in 1996, in a garage near Bayonne under the Godzilla moniker the motivations of the Duplantier brothers (Joe on guitar/lead vocals and Mario on drums) and their band fellows Jean-Michel Labadie (on bass) and Christian Andreu (guitar) were less than sophisticated. Recorded at home in the studios of the Milans, <i>From Mars to Sirius</i> is an album of revolt, where ancestral forces of dragons are mentioned, the ocean shows its anger and all codes are red lighted. An album where action has taken over speech.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span lang="FR" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Location: Sunshine Theater</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span lang="FR" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">120 Central Ave. SW - Albuquerque, NM 87102</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span lang="DE" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Info: <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.gojira-music.com"> <span style="color: #000099; text-decoration: none">www.gojira-music.com</span></a> ; <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.myspace.com/gojira"> <span style="color: #000099; text-decoration: none">www.myspace.com/gojira</span></a> ; <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.sunshinetheaterlive.com"> <span style="color: purple; text-decoration: none"> www.sunshinetheaterlive.com</span></a> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="DE" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span style="font-size:8.0pt;color:black">February 22, 2007 at 6:15pm</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"><b> <span style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Gojira</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Location: The Grove</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">2200 E.

He was the inventor of the term "organized sound", a phrase meaning that certain timbres and rhythms can be grouped together, sublimating into a whole new definition of sound. His use of new instruments and electronic resources led to his being known as the "Father of Electronic Music" while Henry Miller described him as "The stratospheric Colossus of Sound".

That fascination is at the heart of <i>The Story of French,</i> the first history of one of the most beautiful languages in the world that was, at one time, the pre-eminent language of literature, science and diplomacy. Nadeau and Barlow chart the history of a language spoken as a native tongue by 130 million people around the globe. The first document written in the French was signed by the sons of Charlemagne in 832. After this, Latin was purged from the courts of France by Francois 1st, giving root to French speakers' 21st century obsession with language protection. The obsession progressed as Cardinal Richelieu established the French Academy, a group entrusted with the responsibility of keeping the language pure and eloquent. As French circled the globe, the international cast of characters included Montaigne, Catherine the Great, Frederic II of Prussia, the guides of the Lewis and Clark expedition, Jules Verne, and others. Let Nadeau and Barlow guide you through the story of a language used to write some of the world's great masterpieces of literature construct some of the most important documents of diplomacy, bedevil millions with its vagaries of pronunciation and beguile everyone with its beauty.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="DE" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Info: <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.stmartins.com"> <span style="color: purple; text-decoration: none">www.stmartins.com</span></a> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span lang="DE" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span style="font-size:8.0pt;color:black">For more information on French books and translations, visit: </span><u> <span style="font-size:8.0pt;color:blue"> <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.frenchbooknews.com"> <span style="color: #000099; text-decoration: none">www.frenchbooknews.com</span></a></span></u><span style="font-size:8.0pt;color:black"> and </span><u><span style="font-size:8.0pt; color:blue"> <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; text-underline: single" href="javascript:ol('http://www.frenchculture.org/books/index.html');"> <span style="color: #000099; text-decoration: none"> <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.frenchculture.org/books/index.html">www.frenchculture.org/books/index.html</a></span></a></span></u><span style="font-size:8.0pt;color:black"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span style="font-size:8.0pt;color:black"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"><b> <span style="font-size:8.0pt;color:#993300">LECTURES & CONFERENCES</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span style="font-size:8.0pt;color:black"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">February 1, 2007 at 8:30</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Lecture by Alain Badiou: “Why is contemporary artistic creation politically relevant?”</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">"Badiou enacts a return to full-blown philosophy that strikes as a thunder into the morass of postmodernist sophisms and platitudes" - Slavoj Zizek.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Alain Badiou, France’s most important living philosopher and author of the groundbreaking volume <i>Being and Event</i>, gives a timely and compelling talk on the crossroads of contemporary art and politics, artistic creation and critical discourse, and aesthetic theory and political thought.

Using simple but astonishing effects (Orpheus passes through a mirror to reach the dark side), Cocteau created a film that he described as "a thriller which draws on myth from one side and the supernatural from the other." Critic Pauline Kael described it as a "masterpiece of magical filmmaking... asinventive and enigmatic as a dream. Jean Marais is ideal as the successful, popular poet who is envied and despised by the younger poets; his conflicts, his desire to renew himself are the substance of the film... Dark, troubled, passionate María Casares is his Death: attended by her hooded motorcyclists, she is mystery incarnate."</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="FR" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Location: LACMA</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">5905 Wilshire Blvd – Los Angeles, CA 90036</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="DE" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Info: <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.lacma.org"> <span style="color: #000099; text-decoration: none">www.lacma.org</span></a> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="DE" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">February 2, 2007 at 9:20pm</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <b><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Les Yeux sans visage (Eyes without a Face)</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Directed by Georges Franju (1960, 88 min.)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">With Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli & Edith Scob</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Jean Cocteau, whose novel <i>Thomas l'imposteur</i> (1923) had also been filmed by Georges Franju, said of the face-lifting scene in <i>Les Yeux sans visage </i>that "it takes us implacably to the end of what our nerves can bear." The premise is lurid: a mad doctor attempts to restore his daughter's mutilated face with skin obtained from young women that he has had abducted and imprisoned in a remote château. But the execution is poetic and dreamlike, enriched by free-floating allusions to then-recent European history, such as Nazi scientific experiments and Orphée's leather-clad messengers of death. As Kenneth Turan noted in the Los Angeles Times, "Eyes is a series of images that burn themselves into your subconscious. Every visual is carefully thought out and brilliantly composed for effect, creating a world that is simultaneously real and surreal. With its ability to go deeply into our fears, this is a motion picture that captures the texture of nightmare as convincingly as it's ever been done on film."</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Location: LACMA</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">5905 Wilshire Blvd – Los Angeles, CA 90036</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="DE" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Info: <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.lacma.org"> <span style="color: #000099; text-decoration: none">www.lacma.org</span></a> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="DE" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">February 3, 2007 at 7:30pm</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Céline and Julie Go Boating</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Directed by Jacques Rivette (1947, 193 min.)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="FR" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">With Juliet Berto, Bulle Ogier, Dominique Labourier, Marie-France Pisier & Barbet Schroeder</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; background: white"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8.0pt; color: black">Inspired by Lewis Carroll's <i>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</i> (1865), Jacques Rivette's lighthearted celebration of the world of the imagination centers on two women-Céline, a magician, and Julie, a librarian-who meet on a summer day in a Paris park. Instant friends and conspirators, they stumble into a mysterious house and a parallel reality in which a quartet of ghosts acts out a nineteenth-century play about two women in love with the same man. "The old house is like a deserted art cinema where the same faded old print is projected forever. But what happens there is also a creaky stage melodrama that needs to be endlessly rehearsed until the spell is broken," observed Jonathan Romney in The Guardian. "[And] that's only part of it: there's Céline's slapdash magic act as La Mandragore, Julie's manic song-and-dance debut as La Kamikaze, a dead-of-night library raid with roller skates and an extraordinary number of cats...
