From June 1940 to August 1944, @Paris lived under Nazi occupation. But what happened to cinemas? A thread. 1/8 Image
The foreign occupying forces requisitioned three films theatres, that were reserved exclusively for the recreation of their own troops: @LeGrandRex, the Marignan and the now defunct Parisiana. 2/8 ImageImageImageImage
Both Rex and Marignan were of recent construction (1932/1933), huge (3,300/1,700 seats) and owned by Jewish, foreign-born entrepreneurs: Jack Haïk and Bernard Natan respectively. The former was forced into exile, the latter was deported to Auschwitz, where he died in 1942. 3/8 ImageImage

🇵🇰🥃🇮🇳 Both Pakistani and Indian companies market a locally manufactured #brandy called “Doctor(’s)”. 1/6
But if you look at the Pakistani brandy’s label, made by Murree Brewery, you’ll notice that it’s supposedly produced “under arrangement with Dr Gourgand & Co, 16100 France”. This caught my attention. 2/6
16100 is the postcode for the city of #Cognac, which gave its name to one of the world’s best-known types of brandy. 3/6

If you haven’t watched #AKvsAK (@VikramMotwane 🇮🇳 2020) yet, watch it! It’s amazing and kaleidoscopic! 🤩 1/10
Chances are you’ll need #subtitles, though. And since you people don’t sit through the end credits 🙄, I have compiled a list of (nearly all) #subtitlers. 😇 #loveyoursubtitler #nameyoursubtitler 2/10
The film is in both #हिंदी and #English, so let’s mention these two first:

आज पता चला कि फ़्राँस में #मिर्ज़ाग़ालिब के नाम से वाइन बनती है। 🍇✍🏼🍷
मैं और बज़्म-ए-मय से यूँ तिश्ना-काम आऊँ
गर मैं ने की थी तौबा साक़ी को क्या हुआ था @Rekhta
This letter by Ghalib suggests that French wines, including champagne, were available back then. 🍷🤪🍾
👉🏼 books.google.fr/books?id=9mtpZ…
But this other letter shows that he preferred Indian wines. 🤨 (Ghalib jokingly called himself half-Muslim because he would drink wine but not touch pork!)

Do Bigha Zamin (Bimal Roy 🇮🇳 1953) competed for the Grand Prix at @Festival_Cannes in 1954. Its French title was ‘Deux hectares de terre’. 1/5
festival-cannes.com/fr/films/do-bi…
This thread 👇🏼 explains why I am not convinced by the translation. There is a huge difference between a bigha and a hectare, and 2 ha would not make you a poor farmer. 2/5
Jean Cocteau presided the jury of the 1954 @Festival_Cannes. Do Bigha Zamin was one of nine films awarded the International Prize. 3/5

In 1896, self-made entrepreneur Charles Pathé (1863–1957) created a film factory in @VincennesVille near Paris. @fondation_pathe 1/4
It seems that Dadasaheb Phalke received some training there (in 1912?). 2/4
Another connection between Phalke and France: he had his epiphany (and his inspiration for religious films) when he saw la Vie du Christ (1906) by French director Alice Guy (1873–1968) in Bombay. 3/4
