Introducing
Discussion with Sarah Bahja, Jihane Mhand Yamna and Nathan Delbrassine
Synopsis
Placed alongside one another, images of the Université libre de Bruxelles in 1968 and Palestine solidarity today raise questions about the university’s relationship to dissent. How does an institution remember past occupations while responding to those unfolding within it? These films open a conversation about free inquiry, institutional politics and the meanings of neutrality.
