Fifty years ago students, factory workers and filmmakers challenged the Establishment, from Paris to Mexico City, carrying not only bricks but also agile and light 16mm cameras. EYE Filmmuseum shows how the film camera became the rallying symbol of a generation of young people who demanded the right to shape their own lives. To mark the 50th anniversary of the May 1968 events in Paris, EYE Filmmuseum explores the spirit of ’68 and its international crop of wayward filmmakers.
The programme, which runs from 26 April to 25 May, includes films from the year 1968, films about ’68 as well as talk shows and debates with such guests as pop journalist Hester Carvalho, the Instant Composers Pool and Tracy Metz, Director of the John Adams Institute.
