The political world is increasingly interfering in the cultural world. It questions our institutions, our budgets, and the smooth running of our industries. It even interferes in the programming or deprogramming of certain works,” the Syndicat des distributeurs indépendants announces.
Starting from this observation, until Tuesday, a selection of independent and committed films is proposed, reminding of the cinema’s usefulness as an essential cultural place for socialization, reflection, debate, education, citizenship, sharing emotions, and diverse views of the world.
The Saint-Joseph cinema supports this initiative by programming two of these films. On Monday, we can see “Précieuse(s)” a documentary that follows a teacher adapting Molière’s “Les Précieuses ridicules” with her students through a feminist lens.
On Tuesday, the struggle of classes and racism in the United States will be discussed with “Howard Zinn, une histoire populaire américaine 2” (in original version), a film that gives a place in American history to Native Americans, African Americans, and the working class in the great American dream factory.
On Monday and Tuesday, March 10th, at 6 PM, at the Saint-Joseph cinema, Notre-Dame street. Regular rates; reservations possible on www.cinestjoseph44.fr.
