Tournée/On Tour

Something we like about the cinema

This movie was part of the official selection for the Cannes festival 2010. The originality of the mise en scène and the humanism of this most recent work by Mathieu Almaric “Tournée/On Tour” didn’t go unnoticed. All in all, French cinematographic culture is definitely breaking away from its image of a “film intello chiant à la française”, by now offering a wider variety of genres and forms for getting the message across. Tournée is also a bilingual film, with French and English spoken here and there.

David — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 08:05:37 +0000

by Ivanna Pinyak

Over the last couple of years the word crisis must have become one the most most frequently pronounced words in the world. Just check for it in Google! Financial crisis, social crisis, European crisis, French football crisis…

The Crisis of Leadership: that was the title chosen for the 5th Summer University of Democracy organised by the Council of Europe and held this week. The annual event aims at bringing together young active citizens and decision makers in Politics, Economics, Society and Culture from the now 16 schools representing the “non-EU” Member States [...]

Passion for football

David — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 11:38:28 +0000

by Ivanna Pinyak

Generally, there are two kinds of people: those who love football and those who don’t. However, even those who don’t would definitely follow the most prestigious international championships or at least they would check the scores. The World Cup football championship is in the very centre of attention and 22 guys chasing a ball on the big screen might be the biggest action ever. Looks like no other large-scale event in sports, like the Tennis Grand Slam or the Olympic Games could have that strong an emotional impact on the population.
