1. My Afternoons with
Marguerite
DFS reports: We look forward to
seeing you tonight for the first film of our Autumn 2011 season.
Adapted from the novel La tête en
friche, Germain (Depardieu), strikes up an acquaintance in the
square of a small French town with the 95-year-old Marguerite. A giant in dungarees, with
low self-esteem and barely literate, he looks as if he could
anchor a zeppelin. She's articulate, highly intelligent, frail,
and looks as if a sharp breeze could send her floating away.
Touchingly, their growing friendship centres on books and words
– Marguerite's subtle love of them, Germain's inquiring wonder
about them – and the first text is Camus's La Peste, which she
reads to him. Gradually, his life is transformed through the
experience, and in turn he enriches the lives of the collection
of kindly, slightly bruised French types that constitute his
circle.
Films are screened at The Guildhall,
Victoria Road, Dartmouth. The bar is open from 7.00pm and
the films start at 7.30pm Guest tickets are available on
the night for £3.50 each from “The Windjammer” Victoria Road
between 7.00pm & 7.25pm only. No guest tickets will be
sold on the door. For more information about Dartmouth Film
Society, call Clive Osborne on: Tel. 07968 026449 |

To Burgh Island
Paul Reach reports: Stewart's
summer exhibition was a fantastic success, as you will know
if you attended the private view which was a crush!
As a result we have decided to publish a new limited edition
of one of the paintings which drew a lot of admirers.
'To Burgh Island' is now available in an edition of 50,
printed in high quality on 300 gram paper and priced at £350
unframed and £525 framed. We have already sold 5 before
release so we expect a high demand for this edition, which
you will understand if you take a look at the painting in
our gallery.
You can see a bigger version by
clicking here or on the painting iself. And you
can visit the D'Art gallery website by

When was this?
We found this is a drawer, it's
pre the millennium we think? Look at the garden
layout?
Talking of photography,
all our photos are usually less than ten days
old. We don't resort to "stock photography" unless we
specifically mention it. We have three
professional photographers working for us, together with a
couple of very talented people. What you see is taken
by us recently and not last month or last year.
In our quest for
Keeping Dartmouth Special we often give our photography
away, or charge a very modest fee.
