The French Cineclub of Alliance Française de
Durban will screen Certified Copy (Copie
conforme) by Abbas Kiarostami on October 31. Produced in 2010, the film is
in French with English subtitles.
British writer James Miller is in Tuscany
to give a talk about his new book, titled "Certified Copy", which
argues that, in art, issues of authenticity are irrelevant, because every
reproduction is itself an original and even the original is a copy of another
form. A French antiques dealer, whose name is never given, attends the talk
with her 11-year-old son in order to have Miller sign the copies she has bought
of the book, but has to leave early because her son is hungry. She drops off
her phone number with Miller's translator.
The screening will take place on October 31
at 18h00. Tickets R20 include one soft drink and popcorn. Booking essential on 031
312 9582. Alliance Française de Durban is situated at 22 Sutton
Crescent (off Windermere Road) in Morningside. For more information contact 031
312 9582 or fax 031 312 2864 or email: durban@alliance.org.za
