ABOUT FUNNY FACE
1957 | DCP | USA | D: Stanley Donen

Shy bookshop worker Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn) is accidentally discovered by fashion photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) and whisked off to Paris to become a haute couture model. This is a glamour-packed musical romance scored by George Gershwin.

‘Timelessly elegant and charming 1957 musical with a Gershwin score.’ – LA Times

ABOUT BELCO GYPSY JAZZ BAND
Led by accordionist Matt Dennett, the Belco Gypsy Jazz Band captures the romance and charm of 1930s–40s Paris, when Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club sound defined a golden age of swing. This dynamic trio performs Django classics, French musette tunes, and original gypsy-inspired pieces, captivating audiences with lively interplay, expressive freedom, and the irresistible spirit of gypsy jazz.
