i² Film Club

i² Film Club, an international independent film viewing and discussion group, meets the 4th Saturday of each month (January through September only) at 10:30 a.m. at the Jackson Branch Library (1700 North Florida Avenue). Refreshments are provided and each showing is followed by a guided discussion.

Synopsis: The Palais Garnier has been the home of the Paris Opera since 1875, and this documentary takes viewers inside the building and behind the scenes during one season under the direction of Stéphane Lissner.

Autumn 2015. At the Paris Opera, Stéphane Lissner is putting the finishing touches to his first press conference as director. Backstage, artists and crew prepare to raise the curtain on a new season with Schönberg's Moses and Aaron. But the announcement of a strike and arrival of a bull in a supporting role complicate matters. At the same time, a promising young Russian singer begins at the Opera's Academy. In the hallways of Opera Bastille, his destiny will cross paths with that of Bryn Terfel, one of the greatest voices of his time. As the season progresses, more and more characters appear, all playing out against a tragic backdrop when terrorist attacks plunge Paris into mourning.
