FRANCE / Printemps de la Mémoire

The 3^rd Printemps de la Mémoire will take place from March 8^th to April 16^th in Paris and the whole of the Ile de France region.

Film-makers, photographers, artists and researchers focus on four major themes connected with how we remember: Memories of work, Greater Paris, Places of Remembering and Frontiers. Combining meetings, debates, film screenings, exhibitions and live shows, the Printemps de la Mémoire offers Parisians a real educational and cultural journey around memorial issues.

As far as the screenings and discussions are concerned: documentaries, films and archive material, all on the theme of how we remember the past, will be screened in various places in the capital.

An excellent event to remind people that without critical understanding of the past, there can be no open future!
