Vincennes, l'université perdue

2016 · 96 min

A wistful, talky archival stroll through a decade of radical ideas, more nostalgic seminar than spectacle, rewarding for the intellectually curious.

Starring
Virginie Linhart, Hélène Cixous, François Samuelson
Overview
Recounts the epic of Vincennes Experimental University Center, from its creation after the events of May 68 until its demolition in the summer of 1980. To talk about Vincennes is to relive unique ten years of intense intellectual and political extravaganza, educational and artistic inventiveness, utopias, hopes, and betrayals that marked the history in a unique place, the forest with the eponymous name.
