French Film Showing in the Forum, Hexham, on Tuesday 3rd December 2019
Hexham Town Twinning presents the film Joyeux Noël ('Merry Christmas'), an epic war drama based on the Christmas truce of December 1914, depicted through the eyes of French, Scottish, and German soldiers. It was written and directed by Christian Carion. The film was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 78th Academy Awards.
It is a fictionalised account of an actual event that took place in December 1914, when Wilhelm, German Crown Prince, sent the lead singer of the Berlin Imperial Opera company on a solo visit to the front line. Singing by the tenor, Walter Kirchhoff, to the 120th and 124th Württemberg regiments led French soldiers in their trenches to stand up and applaud. Württemberg is the region where our twin town of Metzingen is situated.
Booking details will be available in November
