Introduction:
During 2006 and 2009, Owls Cinema in Casa de la Socrates had launched La Nouvelle Vague Festival for two great film directors, François Roland Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. Also during 2010 it commemorated Eric Rohmer. In this new festival, it will revisit the impact of film development for half a century and bring you to a more in-depth description about the profound personal characteristics of film director Robert Bresson (1901-1999) before "the French New Wave ( La Nouvelle Vague)”. Bresson's film "Pickpocket" has been likened to the best France movie. Cold and minimalist style was his trademark. Chinese Director Jia Zhang-ke has said its work “Xiao Wu” was deeply inspired by Bresson. Although Bresson’s work was not classified as any of the factions of French New Wave, his unique aesthetic style and spirit nourished film directors of the French New Wave.
