Around Lisette Model: movies in Paris and New York
film programmes
From 09 February to 06 June 2010
Jeu de Paume – Paris
Accompanying the Lisette Model exhibition, a selection of films ranging from anonymous archive
efforts to avant-garde and experimental work will be shown daily in the auditorium. The films will
echo some of Model’s own themes, such as Paris in the 1920s and 30s, life in the streets or fields,
racetracks, zoos, cafés, cabarets, nightlife, Nice and the Promenade des Anglais, New York in the
1940s and 50s with its streets, skyscrapers, the shadows of passers-by, shop windows and their
reflections, and the worlds of jazz and contemporary dance.
