Judéopostale
Un jour, Albert Einstein rencontre Charlie Chaplin... Ainsi commence l'une des cent cinquante histoires de Judéopostale racontées sous l'angle inattendu du timbre, de l'enveloppe et de la lettre. De dentelures en oblitérations, d'enveloppes uniques en lettres inédites, c'est l'univers de Camille Pissarro, d'Henri Torrès et de Max Reinhardt, de Rosa Luxemburg, de Sarah Bernhardt ou de Gari Kasparov qui défile en mots et en images sous nos yeux, créant une multitude de moments d'émotions et de surprises. Et c'est toute l'histoire du peuple juif qui prend corps à travers ces multiples portraits de personnages célèbres ou anonymes brossés par Claude Wainstain. Riche en documents exceptionnels, Judéopostale allie le plaisir à la transmission de la connaissance, laquelle, si l'on en croit la légende d'un timbre maori, est l'une des conditions fondamentales de la survie des peuples.

The Poetry of Thought: From Hellenism to Celan
From the distinguished polymath George Steiner comes a profound and illuminating vision of the inseparability of Western philosophy and its living language. With his hallmark forceful discernment, George Steiner presents in The Poetry of Thought his magnum opus: an examination of more than two millennia of Western culture, staking out his claim for the essential oneness of great thought and great style. Sweeping yet precise, moving from essential detail to bracing illustration, Steiner spans the entire history of philosophy in the West as it entwines with literature, finding that, as Sartre stated, in all philosophy there is “a hidden literary prose.” “The poetic genius of abstract thought,” Steiner believes, “is lit, is made audible. Argument, even analytic, has its drumbeat. It is made ode. What voices the closing movements of Hegel’s Phenomenology better than Edith Piaf’s non de non, a twofold negation which Hegel would have prized? This essay is an attempt to listen more closely.”
Film Curatorship - Archives, Museums, and the Digital Marketplace
Film Curatorship is an experiment: a collective text, a montage of dialogues, conversations, and exchanges among four professionals representing three generations of film archivists and curators. It calls for an open philosophical and ethical debate on fundamental questions the profession must come to terms with in the twenty-first century.

Hans Von Aachen, 1552-1615
After first studying in Cologne, Hans von Aachen moved to Italy in 1574 to further his studies. He toured Rome and Florence, eventually settling in Venice. Combining Flemish traditions and Italian innovation he developed a style of his own. Returning to Germany, he lived in Cologne and Munich as a painter of the nobility. In 1592 he was appointed official painter of Rudolph II, Holy Roman Emperor in Prague, finally moving to Prague in 1601, where he painted commissions from Emperor Rudolph II and his successor, Matthias I. The elegance, humour, and sensuality of his mythological and allegoric paintings continue to be a fascination. His religious presentations are symbolic of the constant change in a turbulent world. The Los Angeles Museum of Art (LACMA) numbers paintings from Hans von Aachen among its collection.
The Italians of Dalmatia
"As the Second World War drew to a close, European borders were being redrawn. The regions of Istria, Dalmatia, and Venezia Giulia, nominally Italian but at various times also belonging to Austria and Germany, fell under the rule of Yugoslavia and its dictator Marshal Tito. The ensuing removal and genocide of Italians from these regions had been little explored or even discussed until 1999, when the esteemed Italian journalist Arrigo Petacco wrote L'esodo: La tragedia negata degli italiani d'Istria, Dalmazia e Venezia Giulia. Now this story is available in English as A Tragedy Revealed.
