Ciné­ma et Résis­tances is a series of month­ly screen­ings that high­lights con­tem­po­rary social issues through doc­u­men­tary film. Each screen­ing fea­tures a polit­i­cal film — The Pick­ers by Elke Sasse, Soulève­ments by Thomas Lacoste and Guéril­la des FARC, l’avenir a une his­toire — which explore real­i­ties relat­ed to social strug­gles, work­ers’ rights, and resis­tance movements.

Con­ceived as a space for col­lec­tive reflec­tion, the series invites the pub­lic to deep­en their under­stand­ing of activism in its var­i­ous forms and con­texts. Fol­low­ing each screen­ing, guests take part in a live­ly dis­cus­sion, offer­ing crit­i­cal per­spec­tives and fos­ter­ing dia­logue with the audience.
