Invitation to Jean-François Stévenin

A prolific actor (200+ films), Stévenin has also been assistant director to Cavalier, Truffaut, Rivette and Rozier. He comes to Lumière as a filmmaker, to introduce the three movies he has directed, just newly restored by Le Pacte: Mountain Pass, Double Gentlemen and Mischka.

Mountain Pass (Passe-montagne, 1978, 1h53)
After Georges' vehicle breaks down in the Jura, he meets Serge, who proposes to help him out. An offbeat friendship begins... A wandering picture amid Nature that is omnipresent, unclassifiable and poetic. With Jean-François Stévenin and Jacques Villeret.
