All six of Tati's feature-length films - Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday, Playtime, Mon Oncle, Jour de fête, Traffic, and Parade - will be screened at the exhibition. In addition, there will be workshops as well as panels with international experts on the topics of Tati's films and the representation of the city in art.
