MONSIEUR HULOT'S HOLIDAY ON 16MM

MONSIEUR HULOT’S HOLIDAY (Jacques Tati, 1953)
SATURDAY, MARCH 15TH @ 3PM

Screening on 16mm, with a print sourced directly from Miami-Dade Public Library's very own archive.

"Monsieur Hulot, Jacques Tati’s endearing clown, takes a holiday at a seaside resort, where his presence provokes one catastrophe after another. Tati’s masterpiece of gentle slapstick is a series of effortlessly well-choreographed sight gags involving dogs, boats, and firecrackers; it was the first entry in the Hulot series and the film that launched its maker to international stardom." - Synopsis from Criterion Collection

Paired with an introduction including multiple clips of David Lynch discussing his love of Jacques Tati, one of his favorite filmmakers, and clips of Lynch’s work that share clear inspiration.

“IN DREAMS, I TALK WITH YOU”, is a series of screenings in South Florida hosted by the Miami-Dade Public Library’s AV Club, all in tribute of filmmaker David Lynch in the weeks following his death. The six screenings will be hosted by Katharine Labuda (MDPL’s AV Club) and Juan Barquin (Flaming Classics) and take place through the months of February and March, pairing 16mm film prints with conversations around David Lynch, his work, his contemporaries, and his influences.

The primary limitation enforced was working exclusively from prints available from Miami-Dade Public Library’s archive and Enoch Pratt Free Library’s archive.
