Sauvage Q&A

Date: Sat 2 Mar 2019

Time: 6pm

Location: HOME

Tickets: £9 - Available here

After the screening at 18:00 on Sat 2 Mar Dr Andrew Moor will be joined by director Camille Vidal-Naquet for a Q&A.

Dr Andrew Moor is Reader in English at Manchester Metropolitan University. Andy chiefly researches all aspects of LGBTQ cinema history (and LGBTQ Studies more widely), and British cinema history. His chief area of interest was originally the work of Powell and Pressburger. Emerging from this study, Andy has an interest in British, transnational and cross-cultural film, with a particular emphasis on the work of exiles. While his interest in British Cinema is still alive and well, Andy's more recent research is into gay (and queer) cinema since Stonewall. He is the author of various chapters and articles looking at gay/queer culture, and he is interested in cross-currents between expressions of exile and of queerness. Andy has an ongoing interest in modes of queer viewing / reception studies, and am currently writing a monograph on the relationship between genre and sexuality in gay inflected cinema since Stonewall.

Film details

Twenty-two-year-old Leo (Maritaud, 120 BPM) lives on the streets. He wanders around aimlessly and sells his body for sex, but still believing in the possibility of love. With the help of its raw and natural-looking form, first-time director Camille Vidal-Naquet creates a romantic and moving ode to freedom and love that has earned comparisons to Varda’s Vagabond.
