Turner: 250th Anniversary

One of Britain’s favourite painters, JMW Turner, was born 250 years ago, but his art continues to inspire, just as it inspired the Impressionists in the 19th century. It has a modernity that stands in contrast to his contemporary rival John Constable. It’s hard not to believe Turner would have been proud of the iconoclastic annual art prize that bears his name.

David Hockney: A Life in Pop Art

David Hockney's new exhibition in Paris is entitled David Hockney, 25. Not a reference to the artist's age – he will be 88 this year – but the focus he has put on the most recent 25 years of his work. Because he is still creating and still innovating, from iPad paintings to monumental landscapes of Yorkshire and Normandy as well as an immersive plunge into the world of opera.

Easter Traditions

Easter traditions are fairly similar from one English-speaking country to another, but it's nice for pupils to discover them and compare them with their own traditions. Although originally a religious festival, many of the popular traditions such as chocolate eggs and the Easter bunny have more to do with secular celebrations.

Orangutan Eco-Warrior

Ozi: Voice of the Forest is an animated film with an ecological message. Its protagonist, Ozi, is a young orangutan who is separated from her parents during a forest fire. She finds refuge in a sanctuary where she learns sign language. But when she hears her parents are alive, she sets off to find them. Orangutans are humans' closest relatives in the animal world. They are a critically endangered species and live only in the Pacific, principally on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. There are fewer than 120,000 orangutans left in the wild and their habitat is threatened by human activity: the rainforests they live in are being cut down to create palm oil plantations to feed our desire for shampoo, chocolate spreads and cosmetics. That is the situation in the film, which is co-produced by actor Leo DiCaprio, well-known for his commitment to the environment. The film trailer will allow pupils to piece together the story. We see wildfires, Ozi explaining her life in the sanctuary she calls an orphanage, and her realisation she can and must try to save her parents and habitat. It introduces her friends, a monkey called Chance and a rhinoceros called Honkys. Pupils can make hypotheses about the place her parents are being kept and what the company GreenZar is doing taht is "destroying our island". https://youtu.be/URWqCWhyJRc This very short introductory scene narrated by Hugh Bonneville would be great for anticipation: how could this tiny ape "change the world"? https://youtu.be/Td1kDxvKJfI This short clip entitled "Home Sweet Home" shows the paradisical life Ozi had as baby with her parents in the rainforest. It's good for revising family vocabulary. https://youtu.be/rgdCEYSmBXs This clip shows Ozi rediscovering the forest with Chance after living in the human world. (She has a tablet to take photos because she has become an influencer, helping the charity that helped her teach the world about he species.) [embed]https://youtu.be/8HihAJjnJyc[/embed] Going Further For more about orangutans, check out this article on the Greenpeace site, "10 Amazing Facts About Orangutans". And this article from the WWF site explains what products contain palm oil and how to find responsibly-produced palm-oil products. This film would make a great complement to Shine Bright 5e SnapFile 8 Save Rang-Tan, a beautiful animated poem about saving orangutan habitat created by Greenpeace and narrated by Emma Thompson.

The Mississippi is in the spotlight in April at the Institut Franco-Américain in Rennes. A talk and a documentary film explore the river.

Wes Anderson Exhibition at the Cinémathèque

Wes Anderson is one of those film directors who has such a personal style that you can instantly recognise one of his films, whether it's live action or animation. An exhibition at the Cinémathèque recreates the singular vision of the director of Moonrise Kingdom, Fantastic Mr Fox and The Grand Budapest Hotel. Wes Anderson was born in Texas in 1969 and started making Super 8 films when he was a teenager. He met actor Owen Wilson while he was at college and together they made a short film, Bottle Rocket, that was a success at the Sundance festival and they made into a feature film. Anderson co-wrote his next couple of films with Wilson, Rushmore (1998) and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). The themes of eccentric teenagers and dysfunctional families recur in The Darjeeling Limited (2004), The Life Aquatic (2007) and Moonrise Kingdom (2012). Meantime, Anderson turned to stop-motion animation with his adaptation of Roald Dahl's children's book Fantastic Mr Fox (2009) (image at the top of the page). His love affair with Dahl would bring him his first personal Oscar after many nominations, in 2024 for The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar , the first of his short-to-medium film adaptations of Dahl's short stories for adults for Netflix. He would return to stop-motion with Isle of Dogs (2018). 2014's The Grand Budapest Hotel is probably Anderson's best-known film, and it garnered him three more Oscar nominations as well as 4 wins in different categories. Anderson credits Austrian novelist Stephan Zweig for inspiring the film, set in a a fictional Eastern European city. The miscellaneous staff and guests of a luxury hotel face a time of conflict and tyranny with humour and resilience. The film stars Ralph Fiennes and Saoirse Ronan as well as Anderson regulars Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe and Tilda Swinton. https://youtu.be/KVyf-fzv-mA Anderson continued his love for visiting a perhaps more stylish past with The French Dispatch (2021), set in 1960s France, and Asteroid City, and the height of Hollywood glamour with Asteroid City (2023), complete with a Marilyn-Monroe starlet played by Scarlett Johansson. Look out later in the year for Anderson's latest film, a spy thriller called The Phoenician Scheme starring many of the stable of actors who recur in his films, such as Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson and Benedict Cumberbatch. Wes Anderson Cinémathèque Paris 19 March-27 July 2025 The exhibition will then move to London's Design Museum before going on a world tour. It is possible to book guided visits for classes 4e level and up (in French). They will last 90 minutes and cost 145 € per class, up to 30 pupils et 6.50 € for each extra pupil up to a maximum of 34). Check out the teachers' page for contact details.
