A screening of the documentary The Librarians, which exposes the large-scale removal of books and the culture war unfolding in the United States, followed by a hard-hitting debate on America’s authoritarian drift. From the erosion of civil liberties to the undermining of democratic institutions and the global export of these practices, experts and activists examine how recent U.S. policies are reshaping power at home and beyond.
Discussions are interpreted in English and French; the film is in English and German, with French and English subtitles.
A screening of Meloni Rising, which traces Giorgia Meloni’s rapid ascent and the normalisation of far-right politics in Italy, followed by a sharp debate asking how Europe can resist re-fascisation.

Discussions are interpreted in English and French; the film is in French, Italian and English, with French and English subtitles.
