Le philosophe
"Film Socialisme" es una sinfonía en tres movimientos. "Cosas así": en un crucero por el Mediterráneo viajan personajes muy diversos entre los que tienen lugar numerosas conversaciones: un policía de Moscú, un criminal de guerra, un filósofo francés (Alain Badiou), una cantante norteamericana (Patti Smith), un embajador palestino y un ex doble agente. "Nuestra Europa": una noche, una niña y su hermano pequeño convocan a sus padres ante el tribunal de su infancia y les piden explicaciones sobre la libertad, la igualdad y la fraternidad. "Nuestras humanidades": visita a seis lugares que son escenario de leyendas auténticas y falsas, Egipto, Palestina, Odessa, Hellas, Nápoles y Barcelona.

From 1972 until 1974, Joris Ivens and Marceline Loridan, along with a Chinese film crew, documented the last days of the Cultural Revolution, marking the end of an era. The vast amount of footage they shot was edited into 14 films of varying lengths. Focusing on ordinary people spread over a wide geographic area—many of whom were living and working in collectives—the filmmakers recorded a unique moment in history, and also captured some of the more enduring aspects of Chinese culture.
