WELCOME TO ENLIGHTEN SOCIETY FOR FILMS - HOME

'Enlighten Society' is an NGO dedicated to the cause of spreading good cinema by screening great National and International films. We are looking at an entertaining form of cinema, which is true in itself. Cinema that can touch that common chord in everyone's soul without the boundaries of time and space.

The idea is to screen the greatest films the world has ever seen. We would screen films of all genres. Right from All Time Masterpieces never seen before in India on the big screen, to contemporary cults, action, comedy, romantic, drama, foreign language films, animation, documentaries, great commercial successes, children's films, compilation of short films from all over the world, Oscar winning films and much more.

We will also do retrospective of great filmmakers. World cinema of cultural, artistic and technical merit will be shown.

At Enlighten, Hi- End entertainment will meet Great Art.

Breathless

Jean-Luc Godard / 90 mins /France / Black and White

Breathless

The first feature film directed by Jean-Luc Godard and one of the seminal films of the French New Wave, Breathless is story of the love between Michel Poiccard, a small-time hood wanted for killing a cop, and Patricia Franchini, an American who sells the International Herald Tribune along the boulevards of Paris. Their relationship develops as Michel hides out from a dragnet. Breathless uses the famous techniques of the French New Wave: location shooting, improvised dialogue, and a loose narrative form. In addition Godard uses his characteristic jump cuts, deliberate "mismatches" between shots, and references to the history of cinema, art, and music. When Breathless was first released, audiences and critics responded to the burst of energy it gave the French cinema; it won numerous international awards and became an unexpected box-office sensation.
