Laurent Cantet presents an unflinching look at the delicate integration of conflicting religious and cultural beliefs in the context of a creative writing workshop for a diverse group of young people.
Tournées Film Festival Opening Night: L'Atelier / The Workshop In The Workshop, acclaimed writer-director Laurent Cantet takes an illuminating approach to a variety of key issues haunting contemporary France. Olivia, a successful Parisian novelist, has been hired to spend the summer in La Ciotat, a beautiful but economically battered town on the Mediterranean, teaching a writing workshop for a diverse group of young people whose only common denominator, as is so often the case among twentysomethings in the French provinces, is that they are unemployed. Opening Reception at 5:30 p.m. in Weiss Lounge. Students 21 years or old should bring ID. Film screening at 7 p.m. in Weiss 235.
