John Ewing Award Ceremony + Showing of Rare French Film
Wednesday, Feb 3, 7:30pm
At the awards ceremony hosted by CIA and The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA), Cinematheque Director John Ewing will receive a distinguished French honor performed by the French consulate in Chicago. Ewing was named a Chevalier (Knight) in the Order of Arts of Letters of the Republic of France for his many years of promoting culture at both the Cinematheque and the Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA), where he is Associate Director of Film.
Following the ceremony, Cinematheque will show one of Ewing’s all-time favorite French films, THE SKY IS YOURS (LA CIEL EST A VOUS.) Jean Grémillon’s masterpiece, undistributed in the U.S. and shown here in a rare archival print, tells of a provincial married couple (Madeleine Renaud, Charles Vanel) whose mundane, middle-class life together is turned upside down by a sudden passion for flying. Made during the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the film bravely (and subversively) celebrated the strength, courage, and forbearance of ordinary French citizens, both men and women. Moving and magnificent! Subtitles. 16mm. 105 min. Special thanks to the Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley (Susan Oxtoby, Mona Nagai).
Aitken Auditorium. Information and special event ticket prices at cia.edu/cinematheque.
