No year resonates more powerfully than 1968. This month is the 40th anniversary of the Parisian student riots.
New Yorkers can mark the occasion with two rich and wide-ranging film programs that aim to capture, on screen, the spirit of the student uprisings.
One, at Film Forum (through June 5), is devoted to Filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard in the 1960s, when he was at the height of his influence, productivity and creative power.
To mark the 40th anniversary of the student uprising, FIAF presents an extraordinary recapitulation of the events of May 1968, as recounted by American, Martha Carroll, who lived only steps away from the Sorbonne.
