Les Sixties

The Gene Siskel Film Center presents Les Sixties, an eight-film celebration of the most exciting period in French film history—the era of the New Wave.

Featured are once divisive, now canonical, but still challenging masterpieces by Godard, Melville, Resnais, Truffaut, and Varda.

All films are being presented in recently struck 35mm prints. A special highlight of the series is a brand-new print of the superb anthology film SIX IN PARIS, which has long been out of circulation in the United States.
