Clubs
Tramping Club
The Tramping Club is led by Nathalie Bourneville who has organised many tramping trips with her friends, her family and school camps. She has just renewed her outdoors first aid certificate and has completed Bushcraft 1,2,3 and 4 with the Mountain Safety Council of New Zealand.
The Tramping Club will enable you to combine learning with fun, so you can practice your French whilst getting fit. So it’s important that you speak French and can walk a reasonable distance. The number in the group will be limited and registrations should be sent directly to Nathalie: www.lestrempeurs.blogspot.com
the walks will be over a variety of distances and return times will depend on the conditions.
Cine Club
The Cinema of France comprises the art of film and creative movies made within the nation of France or by French filmmakers abroad.
France is the birthplace of cinema and was responsible for many of its early significant contributions. Several important cinematic movements, including the Nouvelle Vague, began in the country. It is noted for having a particularly strong film industry, due in part to protections afforded by the French government.
Apart from its strong indigenous film tradition, France has also been a gathering spot for artists from across Europe and the world. For this reason, French cinema is sometimes intertwined with the cinema of foreign nations. Directors from nations such as Poland (Roman Polanski, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and Andrzej Żuławski), Argentina (Gaspar Noe and Edgardo Cozarinsky), Russia (Alexandre Alexeieff, Anatole Litvak) and Georgia (Gela Babluani, Otar Iosseliani) are prominent in the ranks of French cinema. Conversely, French directors have had prolific and influential careers in other countries, such as Luc Besson and Francis Veber in the United States. Another element supporting this fact is that Paris has the highest density of cinemas (movie theaters) in the world: biggest number of movie theaters per inhabitants, and that in most “downtown Paris” movie theaters, foreign movies which would be secluded to “art houses” cinemas in other places, are shown alongside “mainstream” works.
