In the Art&Seek Spotlight, we’re crossing the Atlantic. Catch the Wave, a film festival celebrating the French New Wave filmmakers, takes over the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. On Saturday at 7, one of the movement’s crowning achievements, The 400 Blows, will show. Francois Truffaut’s masterpiece turns 50 this year, and the film (and its iconic final shot, above) still resonates as clearly as ever. The festival continues on Sunday; click here for the complete schedule.
