La Tortue Rouge

The Audiovisual Institute of Monaco presents a screening of the 2016 film La Tortue Rouge. A poetic animated movie by the director Michael Dudok de Wit depicts the story of a castaway on a tropical desert island populated by turtles, crabs and birds. La Tortue Rouge recounts the major stages in the life of a human being.

The film has no dialogue, the filmmaker is giving substance to the sounds of silence and nature. Beautiful music is composed by Laurent Perez del Mar.

The Screening will begin at 20:00 on Tuesday, March 29 at the Théâtre des Variétés.
