00:00Hello and presented by the Franco-American Cultural Fund, a partnership of the DJ, the MPA, L'Assassin, and the WGA West.
00:11My name is François Truffard and it's a great pleasure to be here with you for the world premiere of the restored short film from Jean-Pierre Melville, A Day in a Cruised Life,
00:22and the North American premier of the Academy Award winner, Claude Lelouch's new film, Everyone's Life,
00:34presented in association with Necropolitain Expo and Film Atreuse.
00:39It's an honor for me to introduce our first singer tonight.
00:43He is a board member of the Franco-American Cultural Fund, past president of the Director's Day of America,
00:48and an Academy Award winner and nominee. His filmography includes Ray, The Devil Advocate, An Officer and a Gentleman,
00:57and the documentary Chuck Berry Headhead Rock'n'Roll. So let's take on Taylor Hackford.
01:02Thank you, François. As you heard, as the past president of this guild, and a very proud member of the board of the Franco-American Cultural Fund,
01:28along with Michael Mann and Jay Roth, I'm very pleased to welcome you here tonight to our house
01:36for the 21st Colcoa French Dome Festival. Yes, that's right.
01:42This is our 21st birthday.
01:48And you know what that means in California.
01:51We're old enough to drink.
01:52You have no idea how much that means to the French delegation.
02:00The incredible success of Colcoa over the past 21 years reflects the enduring love of the moving image that our two countries ship.
02:10The Franco-American Cultural Fund was founded over two decades ago by the DGA, SASEM, the WGA, and the MPAA
02:18to celebrate and enrich the enduring partnership of filmmakers, writers, actors, producers,
02:25all these people who create film and television in our two remarkable cultures.
02:31The Fund also supports not only this festival, but a myriad of educational programs and professional meetings in the U.S. and France throughout each year.
02:43This evening, as you heard, we have the great pleasure of presenting the North American premiere of Claude Lelouch's Everyone's Life.
02:51Maester Lelouch has been a creative beacon for French cinema for over 60 years.
02:59In 1960, he made 45 scopatone music shorts for jukeboxes.
03:11So you could say that Lelouch pioneered the music video.
03:15Since then, he's directed more than 60 films.
03:20The man has seldom been without a camera in his hand.
03:23An amazing, amazing career.
03:26Keep it up, Maester Lelouch.
03:36You'll be hearing from Claude later, where he will answer questions
03:43and discuss his film with Claude and Valerie Perrin, moderated by DJ and WGA member Jeremy Kagan.
03:53But before we kick off tonight's festival, I want to underscore the continued growth of Colcoa.
03:59For the first time this year, Colcoa will include a selection of French visual reality programs in association with Samsung.
04:08And on the last day of the festival, a web series competition in which it's co-sponsored in association with Tetra Films.
04:20So thanks to all of these additional and exciting new formats for visual storytelling,
04:27Colcoa will present 80 different screenings this year, confirming it as the largest event dedicated to French films and TV in the world.
04:38For the next nine days, we should be flying the French flag on this building.
04:44I want to extend a warm welcome to the French delegation here tonight, including our colleagues from Sassim and Art.
04:53And even though he's home sick tonight, I want to acknowledge the DJ's national executive director, Jay Roth,
04:59who was an original founding member of the Franco-American Cultural Club.
05:04Jay and his fellow founders had a vision to create an environment where French and American filmmakers could meet and exchange cinematic visions.
05:13And looking around this room tonight, I'd say they succeeded.
05:17Let's give them a hand.
05:18Now it's a pleasure to turn the evening over to Howard Rodman, the President of the Rights Guild of America, West, and my friend,
05:34and a former member of the Franco-American Cultural Fund.
05:38Howard.
05:39Howard.
05:42Thank you very much.
05:43Thank you very much.
05:45This is a pleasure.
05:46Thank you.
05:47Je suis très content d'être ici ce soir, au nom du WGA et du Fonds culturel franco-américain,
06:04j'ai l'honneur et le plaisir de vous souhaiter la bienvenue à Colcoa.
06:10We would like to welcome the high school students who will be attending the festival.
06:22This year we will be greeting our 21,000th high school student exposed to French cinema via the screenings and master class of Colcoa's educational programs.
06:34I'm also very pleased to announce that Colcoa is giving a carte blanche, that's French for carte blanche,
06:52to Academy Award winner Damien Chazelle for this festival.
06:57I'm certainly glad to see my name Jacques Trimie a smile.
07:04Our programs this year include an homage to Jacques Tati, whose rigorous and demonically funny films continue to live inside our heads.
07:12Is it possible to open a glass door without thinking of playtime?
07:16A master of image and sound, Tati speaks a language that is universal because it is so specific.
07:23And the cultures of France and America have been speaking to each other since before we were an agent.
07:28The French philosophies inspired our revolution, even as 1776 helped it inspire 1789.
07:35American B-movies of the 40s and 50s inspired the French New Wave in the 60s,
07:40which in turn inspired the Hollywood cinema of the 70s.
07:44That our cultures are deeply and enduringly dependent on one another,
07:48is an argument that can be made and settled in three words.
07:52Liberté, égalité et ence.
07:56And if I may, I would like to hope that in the next two weeks, France can also glean wisdom from America's greatest and catastrophic mistakes.
08:10What better place to honor the ties between our two countries than with our celebration of Jean-Pierre Melville,
08:24who rode around Paris in a huge Cadillac, wore a cowboy hat, and took his name from the American author of Moby Dick.
08:31Melville's films combine the taut, doomstruck narrative of American crime melodramas with a large dollop of French existentialism.
08:39Ably aided by Lino Ventura, Serge Vigiani, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Alain Delon, and others, Melville set the bar for a spare and unsparing film noir.
08:50Please come see Le Cercle Rouge on Friday, no tickets required, admission is free, and please enjoy the restored Melville short film tonight.
08:59I would like now to introduce the Director General of Sassem, the dialogue between French and American cinema, indeed between French and American cultures, has no better protector, has no better advocate, and I have no better friend.
09:14It's my honor and very real pleasure to present to you the Director General of Sassem, Jean-Noel Tramp.
09:23Thank you.
09:36Dear friends, it's always a pleasure to open this very special place and special night with so many special friends.
09:44friends.
09:45And as some of you know, the tagline of the French cultural American film is two countries, one passion.
09:51And here really we celebrate this passion for cinema.
09:56This festival has been continuing expanding and one of the things I'm asked to be underlined is that for this year, there will be one more day.
10:07So please just note that it's not ending on a Monday or on a Tuesday, and there will be a screening as a cloning movie with You Choose, a romantic comedy written and directed by Eric Laren, as well as a new web service competition.
10:24And for those of you who are looking for tickets, because Coco has been said to be a festival so successful that it is difficult to find tickets, I was asked to tell you that you can have tickets and look for tickets since there have been some 25,000 attendees for this festival and we hope that more and more will come, especially for these very special events that were introduced by our
10:54guests.
10:55And it's also my pleasure to now ask my friend and colleagues from the NPA to join me on stage and give you a small communication before we ask the crews of the movie that you will see tonight to also join us on stage.
11:15So please let me ask our friends from NPA to come here, Senator Chris Doz, who is the chairman of the NPA. Thank you very much. Chris Doz.
11:30Thank you very much, Jean-Noel, for that introduction. It's a pleasure to be with all of you this evening, as Taylor pointed out, on his 21st anniversary of the gathering of Lacoa. And let me also commend Howard, Robert, for his wonderful remarks this evening and, of course, yours, Taylor, as well.
11:55Well, one of the delegations from the various membership of our Franco-American Cultural Fund. I'm a member of the board and delighted to be a part of this evening. It's an honor has been said already, but deserves being repeated to celebrate, of course, the American and French film and filmmakers.
12:13And that relationship has been pointed out by two countries, and television and film goes back decades, is Howard pointed out. Over the next nine days, all of us here will have the privilege of seeing some of the 70 or 80 new films as part of what has become the world's largest French film festival.
12:34For that, I want to begin by acknowledging, of course, the great career, as Taylor pointed out, of Jay Roth. We couldn't be here this evening, but Kathy Garmazy and Jay Roth have really been sparks for this organization and for this festival each year.
12:47He's deserving of a second round of applause. We would not be here but for Jay Roth.
12:52Thank you very much for the great contribution. This year, of course, the creation of the Franco-American Cultural Fund, which is responsible. Members of the DGA and the members of the Motion Picture Association have not always agreed on everything, but we all agree about Jay's contribution as well.
13:13I'd also like to extend my sincere thanks to Cocoa's generous sponsors, without whom this event, of course, would not be occurring this evening, and they have made a significant contribution.
13:25This year, we are pleased to reach a record of 43 sponsors, companies, organizations, and outlets, including Air Tahiti Nui, Daily Motion, TV Song Cone USA, and a variety of applause for our sponsors as well.
13:44And for the third time, the American audience will be able to enjoy the Cocoa program from anywhere in the United States, thanks to our partner, TV Song Cone USA.
14:01The whole competition of short films will become available on TV Song Cone Cinema and on demand in May of this year through the Sling program.
14:10This is going to provide even a broader audience for the wonderful presentation of these 70 or 80 films we'll be seeing over these nine days.
14:17Right now, the success of film festivals like Cocoa and the talented artists in both the United States and France are more important than ever before.
14:27I believe that each of us, whether we represent the United States or French films and television sectors, can agree on the powerful role of film and television.
14:36These stories well told, great stories well told, help define our people, our culture, our nations, and the world.
14:43They reflect and comment on the political and social context in which we find ourselves.
14:49The drama of yesterday's first round elections in France, certainly, and the drama of our politics in the United States, these events and occurrences must be explored, must be dramatized, parodied, satirized, and scrutinized on the screen, whether the large screen or smaller.
15:07Many of the films that premiered at the festival last year, including Monsieur Chocolat and Made in France, explore the nature of cultural societies, multicultural societies, in ways that could not be more relevant in both the United States and France.
15:24Let me quickly add that as a recovered politician, of which I would help make some sense of what is occurring in the world today, regrettably I can't help as much as I would like to explain the events that are occurring around our world, but I can say that people are reacting in ways that show that they are struggling to understand this changing reality we are all confronting.
15:47The good news, the good news, the good news this evening, is that both film and television are so powerful because they help people understand their reality through laughter and tears, characters and dialogue, imagination, and innovation.
16:02To be able to help people in that way, it's very important on an evening like this, as we begin this festival, to remember the critically important value that we share in our two nations, one that is intrinsic to both France and the United States, a value that our countries pioneered, and that the people like Jay Roth, that I mentioned earlier, have worked so hard to uphold over these past two decades, and I speak of the freedom of expression, the freedom of free speech.
16:30We need it now, we need it now more than ever.
16:32We need it now more than ever.
16:33We need it now more than ever.
16:34We need it now more than ever.
16:35All of our representatives and our artistic community and the champions of the Missouri Franco-American Partnership.
16:42Thank you all this evening for being a part of that effort.
16:45It's now my pleasure.
16:46My pleasure to present, I believe, Christophe Lemoine, very much, the Council General of France here in Los Angeles, and the movie star in his own right.
16:55Christophe.

17:56I think it's a sign of the vivacity of the French cinema.
17:59I would like to thank them very much to be here with us this year.
18:04The ongoing commitment to French movie and the audacity of Colcoa in giving a chance to young French directors is remarkable.
18:16I can only imagine how thrilling it must be for a young filmmaker to have their first work presented here in Hollywood at the prestigious Directors Guild of America.
18:27And it is a joy to strengthen more every year the links between the Consulate's Film TV office, the French-American Cultural Forum, and the Colcoa team.
18:392017 has been a tremendous year for French cinema.
18:46The numerous French productions, co-productions, and talents nominated during the award season are a showcase for the vibrancy and the diversity of French cinema.
18:57Tonight, it's a, and I, you know, as Elisabeth Teller will say to one of her husbands, I won't keep you very long, but let me just, let me just, let me just underline one of the talent, and I think he's more than a talent,
19:17one of the most well-known French producers that made us a pleasure and the honour to be with us tonight, the most iconic Claude Lelouch.
19:32For all lovers of French cinema, Claude Lelouch movies are milestones.
19:39And there are milestones in our film education.
19:42There are films that bring us back to a powerful story, absorbing music, a strong and unique photography.
19:52Many of the French actors we admire today have gotten our attention and love through a Claude Lelouch film.
20:01So tonight, as the French consul representing my country, France, in Hollywood, honoring Claude Lelouch is a must.
20:10And I'm delighted to share this tribute with you tonight, as we are going to enjoy together his last movie, Chacun sa vie, in French.
20:20Have a wonderful evening. Thank you very much.
20:22And as being the president of the film, it's my privilege to welcome on stage the cruise.
20:38But just before that, I'd like to underline the fact that our fund is about promoting, promoting new movies, but also promoting film restoration and helping the audience to rediscover masterpieces.
20:53And this is also an occasion for me to have a thought to the president of honor of our fund, and also chairman of the French Cinémathèque Française, that I would like us all to applaud Mr. Costa-Galas.
21:11And this is also why it is now really my pleasure to welcome on stage French director, Rémi Grellat, for the world premiere of A Day in a Town's Life.
21:39Rémi Grellat, for the world premiere of A Day in a Town's Life.
21:43Applaudissements
22:13I am also the nephew of Jean-Pierre Medville and with my cousin we create the foundation Jean-Pierre Medville to help young directors for the first film.
22:32When he directed one day on the life of Kroon he was 29 and after the first projection with his producer he was not very happy, he don't like the film.
22:54And he said to his producer, Pierre Grand-Bergé, I put the film in this drawer, I locked the drawer and he threw the key by the window.
23:14This film stayed in the drawer for 60 years.
23:24And later, after the death of Pierre Grand-Bergé, Laurence Grand-Bergé, his daughter, called my cousin Laurent Grousset and my, Annie, and say,
23:42Do you want to watch the film?
23:46No, the film is here for you and maybe you like, maybe you threw the key.
24:00I don't know.
24:04Goodbye.
24:12Thank you very much for me.
24:18And at the moment, this is now my pleasure and honor to welcome on stage the crew of the Everyone's Life movie.
24:26Please welcome with me Mr. Claude Deluche, Madame Vanille Perron, Mr. Gertie Hallyday, Madame Nadia Farnes,
24:35and Mr. Samuel Avila, the co-founder of the movie.
24:41Thank you very much.
24:45Thank you very much.
24:59Thank you very much.
25:01I will speak in French.
25:19But otherwise, if I do speak English, you will have a good laugh.
25:30Alors si je suis là ce soir, c'est parce que j'ai dit une grande histoire d'amour avec le festival de Colcoeur, avec François, ce festival Nervieux, tous ceux qui l'organisent, et comme je ne sais pas dire non à une histoire d'amour, je suis heureux d'être là encore ce soir.
25:45Si je suis là ce soir, c'est parce que j'ai une grande histoire d'amour, une histoire d'amour avec le festival de Colcoeur, et quand j'ai une histoire d'amour, je ne sais pas comment dire non, c'est pour ça que je suis là ce soir, je suis heureux d'être là, c'est parce que je suis heureux d'être là, c'est parce que j'aime tous, je vous le dis franchement.
26:15Et celui-là, il a un goût particulier parce que j'ai le sentiment que ça vaut le coup de réfléchir au cinéma pendant tant d'années, voilà, et j'ai essayé avec ce film d'aller un peu plus loin que d'habitude dans les possibilités qu'offre le cinéma en général, et en particulier avec celui-là.
26:36So tonight you're going to have to tolerate me for the 46th time, and with this film I hope it will be exciting because in this film I try to explore one more time the possibilities that cinema offer, and to keep pushing the envelope further, and I'm very excited about this film.
26:59Alors comme je vais revenir à la fin du film pour faire une question-réponse, je vais être très très court, je voudrais simplement vous dire que ce film raconte l'histoire d'hommes et femmes qui ont l'égalité de leurs défauts, voilà.
27:15Ils ont alors qu'à l'égalité de leurs défauts, et à chaque fois que l'un d'entre eux coupe le film invisible qui nous relie tous, ça fout la merde, voilà.
27:22So I want to be very brief, because we will see each other again for a Q&A after the film, but what I want to say about the film is that it is a story of many men and women, and we're following them, but we notice that when they cut the threat that bound them together, then it is meram and cows.
27:49Voilà, je voudrais terminer en me disant que ce film est un rendu pour moi, un hommage à l'un des hommes que j'aime le plus au monde, pour son talent, et sa générosité, je le méritais.
28:06Alors, vous avez un foremost, vous donnez un hommage à l'un des vrais talent, et vous donnez un vrai talent, et vous donnez un vrai talent, et vous donnez un vrai naturel.
28:14As we say in America, he's learned the movie.
28:19Thank you everyone to be here tonight to share this beautiful moment, hopefully you will enjoy the movie, but thank you Colcoa for being the bridge between our two cultures, French and American, it's an amazing opportunity for all the talents to meet, so thank you, hope you enjoy the movie.
28:43Thank you.
29:13So, after some time, I met Claude, and I've been at the pleasure of producing his previous movie, 1 plus 1, enfin 1 plus 1, plutôt, and then I enjoy again having made this movie with him, and I know that he had César, Oscar, opening of Cannes, and generally, you know, I produce more foreign movie than French movie, but it's the first time I'm making a French movie, and making an opening here, instead of Cannes.
29:42So, we are very happy, and happy to meet you for this opening, and I want to thank Claude, and all the cast, and more Claude, because I'm very happy to meet your third and fourth one, too.
29:53Thank you.
29:54Thank you.
29:55Thank you.
29:56Thank you.
29:57Thank you very much.
30:00I'll start a little bit.
30:01I'll finish the song.
30:02I'll finish the song, and I'll finish the song.
30:03Oh!
30:04Wow!
30:05Thank you so much.
30:06I'll make a declaration of love for my work.
30:08Bye.
30:09Thank you.
30:10Thank you so much.
30:11Thank you.
30:12Thank you so much.
30:13Enjoy.
30:14I come back.
30:46...
