Cinema Tuesdays feature travelers and conquerors.



Les mardis du cinema (cinema Tuesdays) have started again at the Theatre des Varietes. This year's theme is Travelers and Conquerors (Voyageurs et Conquerants) and a total of 15 films will be featured, the last of which will be shown in June 2009.

The first season of cinema Tuesdays was 2004/05, and it proved so popular that the event is now in its 5th season. A mixture of both well-known and little-known films are chosen for the event, which is organized by the Audiovisual Archives of Monaco with the support of the government. It's a great initiative that gives locals more choice for a night out or a bit of culture.

The first screening this season was Jim Jarmusch's Down by Law, which we unfortunately missed on 14 October. Not to worry, the next one will be shown on 28 October and is an Italian film by Pier Paolo Pasolini. The English title of the film is The Hawks and the Sparrows (original title is Uccellacci e Uccellini). We'll let you know what else is on closer to the time - check back regularly on the maBoum events listing.
