Rare gathering of “Daneyans” (term coined by Nicholas Eliott) this afternoon at the ICA London for the screening of Nord Sud (conversation Daney/Sanbar). Pleasure to be there.

Just downloaded Mapy (looking OK with bike routes in London, finding nice quiet back roads if not all of them), but discovering the Vivaldi browser just made my day (solved so many performance issues on older Macbook Air). Thanks! #LateToTheParty

With the ICA London programme about Serge Daney approaching, we've taken the opportunity to translate an extract of Pierre Eugène's incredible book about Daney (Pierre is attending a roundtable on Sept 30th).
