The French Open Roland Garros Tennis Tournament |
|
| The Roland-Garros tennis tournament in the spring is the world mecca of ground tennis, it is one of the key ATP competitions with Flushing Meadows, Wimbledon and Melbourne. It was here that great players such as Borg, Graf, Wilander, Lendl, Kuerten and Nadal made their debut and here that spectators experienced some of the most exciting and spectacular matches in tennis history. Clay courts slow the ball down and produce a high bounce when compared to grass and synthetic courts. As such, over the years, clay court specialists have evolved who often succeed here whilst higher ranked players may struggle. Who will be the winners after Raphael Nadal and Li Na in 2011. One of the highly selective foursome of Grand Slam tournaments... | |

Tim Burton
The exhibition |
|
|
After the MoMA in New York, la Cinémathèque hosts the Tim Burton's exhibition through an amazing retrospective.
Better known as a filmmaker, Tim Burton, who shook up conventions, supplied contemporary mainstream cinema with a welcome breath of fresh air. Less well known is his work as an illustrator and photographer, heir to Edgar Allan Poe, the Surrealists, and constantly reinterpreting popular culture.
Drawings, paintings, storyboards, models, costumes, film extracts... Tim Burton's exhibition is a unique opportunity to look through his artistic work. There's behind the scenes footage of all his films, and films in super 8 or 16mm, early works digitised for the occasion.
Some extracts from his most famous movies will be showed such as Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Mars Attacks, Ed Wood or Sleepy Hollow.
