| |  |  Richard Dindo: Artists, Writers, Rebels
One of Europe's most esteemed documentarians, Swiss filmmaker Richard Dindo (b. 1944), has steadily been acquiring a following in North America. Most of his films are biographical essays. His subjects, in the main, are artists and revolutionaries, often both. While certain figures like Ernesto "Che" Guevara, and poet Arthur Rimbaud are famously encircled in controversy, other subjects are lesser known but no less intriguing for the manner in which Dindo builds his portrait. This series is presented through the cooperation of SwissFilm, with special thanks to Hanna Bruhin and Richard Dindo.

| | | |  A Season of Rohmer
Eric Rohmer (1920–2010) changed the course of contemporary filmmaking with his eloquent, elegant, and probing films focused on small moral dilemmas in the everyday lives of young, middle-class people. His trademark comedies of manners are, in fact, as much about his characters' linguistic habits as they are about their lives, loves, and entanglements. This retrospective, presented at the National Gallery, the American Film Institute Silver Theatre, and La Maison Francaise, includes all extant works. With thanks to Institut francais, AFI, the Embassy of France, Films du Losange, and the French-American Cultural Foundation. All films are in French with subtitles.
