FFF: Jacquot de Nantes

<div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Agnès Varda’s</b> tender evocation of the childhood of her husband, Jacques Demy is a wonder-filled portrait of the artist as a young man and an enchanting ode to the magic of cinema. Shot in Demy’s hometown of Nantes (including the house he grew up in), this imaginative blend of narrative and documentary traces his coming of age as he finds escape from the tumult of the Second World War in puppet shows, fairy tales, opera, and, above all, movies – the formative experiences that would fuel his vivid Technicolor imagination and find unforgettable expression in his exuberant New Wave masterworks.&nbsp;</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interspersing intimate footage of the older Demy reflecting on his life’s journey, <i>Jacquot de Nante</i>s is a poignant love letter from one visionary artist to another – a dream project Varda realised for him when he became too ill to direct it himself.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>"A heartfelt homage to the memory of Demy." - <i>Los Angeles Times</i></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Screening as part of French Film Festival 2026.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.glasgowfilm.org/homefrench-film-festival">Click here to browse the full programme.</a>&nbsp;</span><br></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">French with English subtitles.&nbsp;</span></div>DramaPT2HPG2026-12-03FRfr
