Thursday 18 May 2017 at 7:30 PM
Exposition "Filmer la guerre" au Mémorial de la Shoah en 2015

Exhibition 'Filming the war' at the Shoah Memorial in 2015

In partnership with     Logo_ICOM-long

In the presence of Diane Dufour, director of Bal, Natasha Nisic, artist and Daniel Soutif, philosopher and art critic.
