“There were many film waves in the 1960s which were just that, waves. They broke on the shore and were gone. But the original wave, the French Nouvelle Vague, which crashed upon an unprepared world at Cannes in May 1959 and which brought to the fore filmmakers like Claude Chabrol, Francois Truffaut and Alain Resnais, was more like a tsunami. It helped to transform not just French cinema but cinemas the world over. Its effects are with us today.” Geoffrey Nowell-Smith, author of Making Waves: New Cinemas of the 1960’s.

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Lone Star Film Society celebrate the 50th anniversary of the French New Wave with a tribute to the directors who influenced and emerged from the influential Cahiers de Cinema. Screenings include many of the most famous and pivotal, now classic films, from groundbreaking French filmmakers such as Francois Truffaut, Louis Malle, Claude Charbrol and Jean Luc Godard.
