Second French Film in Series will be shown Tuesday, October 14

You are all invited to attend the second French film in a series of five. This Tuesday, October 14, you’ll see Le Scaphandre et le papillon (The diving Bell and the butterfly). The story: Elle France editor Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a stroke at the age of 43 that paralyzed his entire body, except his left eye. Using that eye to blink out his memoir, Bauby eloquently describes the aspects of his interior world, from the psychological torment of being trapped inside his body to his imagined stories from lands he only visits in his mind.
This film, subtitled in English, will be shown at 7:00 pm in the O’Shaughnessy Educational Center auditorium. For more information on the 2008 Tournées Film Festival you may wish to visit FACE (French American Cultural Exchange).
