Celebrating French filmmaker Jacques Tati

Tativille is le site officiel of Jacques Tati's film (the site is no more-ed). SIFF will be screening a new 70mm (!) print of Playtime, Tati's amazing 1967 look at city life. 

At least one film screening at this year's festival, Latvian filmmaker Laila Pakalnina's 2003 The Python, appears to have been partially inspired by Tati's cinematography and environmental sense of humor.
