Join us the day before for a special film screening of LIP: Imagination in Power (Les LIP: L’imagination au pouvoir)
Monday, October 23, 2023 | 6:30-9:30 PM
Maison Française, Columbia University
Film screening and discussion with Étienne Balibar and Bernard E. Harcourt.
This documentary interviews workers who led the most emblematic strike of 1968 at the LIP factory in Besançon. This was an amazing struggle that lasted for several years, mobilized enormous crowds in France and Europe, used illegal tactics but without falling into violence, and pushed the imagination about democracy to new heights. Portraits of individuals, a collective history, interweaving stories help viewers understand why this strike carried hopes and dreams for a whole generation.
