Discover Paris-inspired events, cinema evenings, photography exhibitions and book talks with author Ruby Boukabou across Australia, France and beyond.
Inspired by The Movie Lover’s Guide to Paris Ruby’s other Paris titles, articles, film clips, photography, performances and experiences, these events blend cinema, storytelling, photography and live performance.
From state cinemas and Alliance Françaises to bookstores, cafés and galleries, audiences are invited to experience Paris through the lens of film, culture, atmosphere — and at times, a splash of tap dance.
The latest title from Ruby Boukabou, The Movie Lover’s Guide to Paris joins earlier books including The Art Lover’s Guide to Paris, The Architecture Lover’s Guide to Paris and The Art Lover’s Guide to Barcelona. (All books here.)
