Une saga de l’Europe culturelle au coeur du XIXe siècle is screened in Paris
The screening of the latest film in which the CEEH has been involved is scheduled for 13 November at the Maison de l’Europe in Paris. The documentary (which can be viewed free of charge on Arte.tv until 22 February 2025) explores the period of exchange and artistic and literary flourishing that followed the Industrial Revolution in Europe. It tells the novelesque political and social history of visionaries such as the singer Pauline Viardot, her collector and translator husband Louis Viardot, and the poet Ivan Turgeniev (a love triangle that forms the backbone of this film), who spread the humanist, democratic and pacifist values of European culture across the continent.
Bruno Patino (president of ARTE), François Duplat and Amaury Lafarge (from Bel Air Media), and Jorge Chaminé (founding president of the Centre Européen de Musique) are taking part in the event.
