Ce 2 octobre sortent les 2 premiers volumes de la collection "Cette année-là à Paris".
L'un porte sur le + grave accident industriel de l'histoire de France (1794).
L'autre sur le retour des cendres de Napoléon (1840).
Ils sont brefs, accessibles, originaux, stimulants. Très heureux de ce lancement!

Grateful to share that this issue includes my article on the films of Lionel Soukaz, written before his passing earlier this year. There is still so much more to be said about his radical and inspiring vision for cinema, community and resistance - a vision that we all need, now more than ever.
