Show: 1992 Albertville
The 1992 Albertville opening and closing ceremonies were choreographed by Philippe Decouflé. These images, I believe, are from the closing ceremony. I remember there being an even greater number of imaginative balloon-type creations and hordes of men on stilts in the opening ceremony. I'd like to see that again but I can't find any images of it, unfortunately. Anyone?
More video! Thanks JohnCanon

Controversy: Ceci n'est pas une pipe!
Image: REUTERS/Philippe Wojazer
"...new posters for a recent Jacques Tati retrospective show the iconic Hulot without his pipe after the Paris public transport network (RATP) banned the picture, citing a 1991 law that prohibits advertising tobacco."
A drawing of Jacques Tati as Hulot (with his pipe) made by...?

Vintage Cartoon: Joie de vivre
Joei de vivre
(Anthony Gross & Hector Hoppin/1934)
"...in this case a sophisticated version of Perrault's Cinderella. Instead of working from designs from children's illustrated books, this film incorporates elements from French art nouveau posters, the fine art of Matisse and visual ideas from the Post Impressionists and Italian Futurists. The choreography is very imaginative, and constantly plays with the movement of the two dimensional abstractions in three dimensional space."
You'll find a QuickTime movie link in the ASIFA article: An Animation Salon: What Is An Animated Film?

Movie Classic: Elevator to the Gallows (1958)
Noir of the Week: Elevator to the Gallows (Ascenseur pour l’echafaud 1958)
Via del.icio.us/bibi
According to myself this is a great movie (by Louis Malle) with a great music score (Miles Davis). As if that wasn't enough this version of the movie poster is an extraordinary one. Does anyone have the name of the poster artist?
