AUSTRALIA 
Citroen Australia is providing support for the 1999
French Film Festival in both Sydney and Melbourne and exhibitions at Sydney's
SOHO Galleries by the French artist, Marie Paule Fath
and French-Australian Guy Detot from South
Australia.
"The Dreamlife of Angels", "Alice and
Martin", "The Dinner Game", "The School of Flesh" and the 1999 Oscar nominee,
"Those who love me with take the train." Visiting Australia for the Festival
are French actors Natacha Regnier, who stars in "The Dreamlife of Angels" and
the star of "Those who love me will take the train", Pascal Greggory.
Marie
Paule Fath is a figurative painter who lives in the south of France, who
through her work metamorphoses reality to illustrate the dreams, fear and hopes
of those both with us and departed. Her style is both beautiful and masterful,
with oil, collage and ink providing her work with a very personal and special
depth.
French born,
Guy Detot has lived in Australia since 1982. Although he has always had a
strong affinity for sculpture, he is also a professional dancer and his work
reveals a deep understanding of movement, rhythm, lyricism and the flow of
nature. The Australian influence in his work is clear: He uses as his
sculptural medium the red gum wood that dominates his South Australian home.
His work celebrates the nude human form as well as animal forms, such as
horses.
