Editorial We are dedicating the April Cine Club to the great French director Alain Resnais, whose career has extended over more than six decades. He Alain Resnais began making feature films in the late 1950s which adopted unconventional narrative techniques to deal with themes of troubled memory and the imagined past. These films were contemporary, and associated with, the French “New Wave” or nouvelle vague, though Resnais felt himself closer to the “Left Bank” group of authors and filmmakers who shared a commitment to modernism and an interest in left-wing politics. Hiroshima Mon Amour Throughout his career he has won many awards from international film festivals and academies. What else is on in Kampala?
