Sunday, April 1, 2012 is the last day of ÉCU 2012, the European Independent
Film Festival. The nine screening sessions begin at 11:20am at Action Christine, and 11:50am at Les 7 Parnassiens. Stop in for a session
or two, most of which last about two hours, for a look at new European and international
shorts, documentaries, music videos and student films. Filmmakers will be on
hand to discuss films and technique, and to answer questions from the audience.
The program is available here.

Post-screening, head over to rue de Buci from Action
Christine, for a drink and great people-watching at the corner Bar du Marché, or
for oysters at the Café Germain with its
red vinyl booths and traditionally attired garçons. If you’re hungry, stop at
Cosi for some opera music and a sandwich on warm indescribably delicious wood-fired
pizza bread. For a trendy crowd and waiters with attitude, there’s always La
Palette, a neighborhood institution.
Leaving the 7 Parnassiens you’ll find yourself in the
hallowed triangle of literary and artistic cafés formed by Le Select, La
Rotonde and La Coupole, where painters, photographers, and writers all gathered
during the heady années folles at the turn of the 20th century,
through la Grande Guerre and to the eve of World War II. Don’t miss the
soupe
à l’oignon at La Rotonde, the domed ceiling of La Coupole, and the enclosed
terrace of Le Select.
