The Wages of Fear (Le Salaire de la peur) centers on a group of four down-on-their-luck European men who are hired by an American
oil company to drive two trucks, loaded with nitroglycerin needed to extinguish an oil well fire, over mountain dirt roads. Critic Pauline
Kael called it the “the most original and shocking French drama of the ’50s . . . the violence is not used simply for excitement—it’s used
to force a vision of human experience.” Roger Ebert concurred, saying “The film’s extended suspense sequences deserve a place among the
great stretches of cinema.”

Senegalese kora master Ablaye Cissoko shares the stage in a mesmerizing collaboration with French accordionist and composer Cyrille Brotto.
Together, they create an exotic, yet strikingly modern sound that melds the deep traditions of their very different musical cultures and showcases their unique artistry.
Ablaye Cissoko is an avid cross-cultural collaborator. He incorporates Mandinka griot traditions with contemporary musical creation,
performing with artists across genres, including world music, jazz, classical and baroque. Cyrille Brotto is an accomplished diatonic
accordionist and multi-instrumentalist, with a distinguished performing and educational profile across Europe. The rapport between these two
artists is evident in their mesmerizing music. Together, they perform a gift of poetic imagination and musical intelligence, at times so
harmonious that it seems as if touched by grace.
