PROGRAM
Paradis Paris
Dear Paris
Marjane Satrapi / Honorary Degree
OPENING FILM
What makes life worth living? In a set of interconnected stories, several Paris residents see their lives turned upside down when death knocks at their door: a narcissistic Italian opera singer wakes up at the morgue only to realise her own passing came unnoticed; a British stuntman finds himself questioning his own profession when his son suffers an accident; an eccentric elderly Colombian woman makes a pact with death itself... While each character strives to reconnect with what matters most, the city of light, love and endless possibility shines brighter than ever.
Marjane Satrapi
Marjane Satrapi is a director and writer who grew up in Tehran, Iran. In 1997, she moved to Paris and, after years of struggle, published Persepolis in 2000, a critically acclaimed graphic novel that has been translated into more than ninety languages. She also published the books Embroideries and Chicken with Plums and has written several children's books. Her animated film adaptations of her own works have achieved international success.
