Twice Upon a Time
At our invitation, Francesca Bozzano, the Director of Collections at the Cinémathèque de Toulouse, has curated a varied selection of short and feature films from their catalog. This program includes ten screenings ranging from silent cinema, experimental films, and animation to underground, documentary, and classic films, with several restorations done by the Cinémathèque de Toulouse or from elements preserved in their vaults.
"Reinvention of the self through and within the film. The meeting of a man in a café to whom the filmmaker proposes to live a love story intertwined with a cinematic story until the very end. The unfinished diary of a young woman in Barcelona." (Jackie Raynal)
Jackie Raynal
Jackie Raynal is a French director and editor. In 1960, she earned a degree in literature in Paris and learned photography and film editing. In 1963, she worked as an editing intern on Jean-Daniel Pollet's Méditerrané. That same year, she co-directed her first film about dancer Merce Cunningham with Étienne Becker. From 1964 to 1968, she collaborated with Éric Rohmer on editing. In 1966, she edited all the segments of the film Paris vu par..., working with Jean Douchet, Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard, and Jean Rouch. She was a member of the Zanzibar group, a collective of filmmakers formed in March 1968 around Sylvina Boissonas, Olivier Mosset, Philippe Garrel, and Serge Bard. In 1969, she directed her first film, Deux fois, a feminist manifesto reflecting the disillusionment following the events of May 1968. In 1972, Raynal moved to New York, where she programmed and managed the Carnegie Hall cinemas until 1991. In 1980, she directed New York Story and later Hotel New York, offering a critical analysis of the New Wave cinema environment to American filmmakers of the 1980s.
