The Alliance Francaise de Hyderabad is presenting an assortment of documentary
films as part of its monthly Wednesday Video Club shows, which portray various
themes ranging from the life of the maintenance staff working night and day
in the world famous Eiffel Tower to the unfolding of the eclipse of August 11,
1999. You will get a chance to walk through the gardens of the Château de Versailles,
Parc Monceau, Les Buttes de Chaumont, Parc Montsouris etc.
It is no mystery that the world famous Eiffel tower attracts millions of visitors
every year. One might not know, however, that it is also the workplace of thirty-four
year-round maintenance staff working night and day in its elevator shafts and
its accumulators or on its numerous footbridges. These painters, locksmiths,
plumbers and electricians know every nook and cranny of the tower and combine
their taste for work with their unique poetic sensibility. Meet them today with
this film.
