Pat's Sanitarium |
A retreat for the well-being of my mind from the insanity of the life that is mine. |
Yep, its that time of the year again... ;) I had a blast at last year's festival and i don't intend to let this year's one go amiss either! For those of you who don't know, every year the French Embassy, in conjunction with HELP and the Alliance Francaise along with a number of local organisations and musical institutions to showcase Malaysian-French collaborations in the realms of art, music, food, and theatre. Things kicked off on the 19th of May, and i managed to catch their very cool 'two nights only' Babel dance performance as part of the (hip hop/capoeira/breakdancing/traditional dance performance - 'twas AWESOME!) at the festival opening down in the Istana Budaya. Also managed to catch the last day of their Animation Festival down at HELP... it was better than the one last year, mainly because the themes weren't as... overly 'artsy' (surreal in other words). I just wish they had a better projector! :( And tonight? An invite to the opening of the French International Movie Festival! w00tsk1!!! Anyhow, here's the breakdown of events (from the official 2006 site): Movies June 1st - 11th: GSC Midvalley and GSC One Utama international screens (for movie synopses and times please go to their dedicated French International Movie Festival site). Gastronomy Cognac appreciation session (tasty!)
