You can approach old classics just like new films, argued participants during Locarno’s Heritage Monday panel.
“I talked to an exhibitor in Paris and they don’t consider repertory cinema to be different from contemporary cinema. They are collapsing both models into one and it’s very interesting,” said K.J. Relth-Miller of the Academy Museum.
Swiss Film Archive director Frédéric Maire noted that they also mix “fresh” films with older titles. “This idea of separating them can be useful for communication, but we try to avoid it. Yesterday, I was watching [Daniel Schmid’s 1974 film] ‘La Paloma’ [at the festival] and it felt modern and new. I don’t want to make these distinctions in terms of cultural perspective,” he said.
Such an approach can be beneficial also when it comes to raising audience’s awareness, argued Film Movement’s Erin Farrell.

Cate Blanchett and Isabelle Huppert backstage at the Césars
France's top awards, the Césars, were held last night. The historical costume drama Lost Illusions which had led the nominations took home the most prizes including Best Film. But all was not lost for its competition since all but one of them won at least one César. The thorny musical tragedy Annette was the runner up in terms of wins even repeating the Best Director win at Cannes for Leos Carax. And of course Cate Blanchett took the Honorary César and was introduced by Isabelle Huppert herself.
The winners and comments and a few videos from the show are after the jump....

The actor on her fear of elevators, her childhood dream job and why she’d be willing to play golf with Donald Trump
Born in Paris, Isabelle Huppert, 65, made her name internationally in the 1977 film The Lacemaker, for which she was named Bafta’s most promising newcomer. Dozens of international accolades followed, including two best actress awards at Cannes (for Violette Nozière in 1978 and The Piano Teacher in 2001). For her role in the 2016 movie Elle, she was Oscar-nominated and won her second César. On 9 June, she reads Marquis de Sade at the Southbank Centre, London. She is married to the film-maker Ronald Chammah, and has three children.
When were you happiest?
Fortunately, I’ve often been happy, which you wouldn’t necessarily guess from the roles I play. I’ve always been very happy to have my children with me, particularly on location. My daughter was in in London when...

Even paired with her very similar-looking daughter, Huppert seems disconnected from this dismal family drama. And as a tennis coach, she’s no Judy Murray
This lugubrious, laborious movie from Luxembourg director and co-writer Laura Schroeder gains some interest in the eerie similarity of its real-life mother-daughter star pairing. Isabelle Huppert appears opposite 33-year-old Lolita Chammah, her daughter with her ex-partner, the producer-director Ronald Chammah. Lolita is heartstoppingly like the younger Isabelle, and their scenes together have the uncanny look of a debate between Huppert’s older and younger selves. When Chammah lies down on a sun lounger wearing dark glasses, it is almost a filmic seance.
Unfortunately, Huppert is in the movie very little, perhaps a quarter of the running time, and seems a bit detached from the material – though this can get close to being a problem even with her very greatest performances. Huppert’s participation and the...
