  • SHOAH: FOUR SISTERS

  • Nov 13, 2018 to Dec 8, 2018
  • Location: Quad Cinema
  • Description:

    Cohen Media Group is proud to announce the release of Claude Lanzmann's final documentary SHOAH: FOUR SISTERS, a selection of the Cannes and New York Film Festivals, scheduled to open in New York on Wednesday, November 14 at The Quad Cinema followed by a national roll out. Composed of four segments, The Hippocratic Oath, The Merry Flea, Noah’s Ark, and Baluty, SHOAH: FOUR SISTERS will be released theatrically in two parts.


    Starting in 1999, Claude Lanzmann made several films that could be considered satellites of SHOAH, comprised of interviews conducted in the 1970s that did not make it into the final, monumental work. In the last years of the director’s life, he decided to devote a film to four women from four different areas of Eastern Europe with four different destinies, each finding herself improbably alive after war’s end: Ruth Elias from Ostravia, Czechoslovakia (The Hippocratic Oath); Paula Biren from Lodz, Poland (Baluty); Ada Lichtman from further south in Krakow (The Merry F

    In January 2015, the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Joseph Kabila, sought a constitutional amendment that would allow him to be elected president for a third time.

    This film documents the resulting demonstrations and follows three protagonists of the resistance. Ben, who lives in exile in New York, takes the advice of his fellow countrymen in exile and decides to join the struggle in the Congo. Jean Marie, who has just been released from prison, continues his public campaign for his country’s freedom and is persecuted by the secret service. Christian fights unperturbed in the streets of Kinshasa, even after former Prime Minister Etienne Tshisekedi, on whom the opposition had pinned their hopes, dies and the movement against Kabila’s extension of his time in off

  • Jean-Paul Sartre, La Révolution française et le présent - Sophie Wahnich

  • Nov 27, 2018 from 2:00pm to 3:15pm
  • Location: La Maison Française of NYU
  • Description: L'appréciation politique et intellectuelle de la Révolution française doit moins, depuis 1945, aux historiens qu'aux philosophes, moins à l'évolution de l'historiographie comme telle qu'à la manière dont des penseurs de première importance se sont mêlés de penser la Révolution française. Les querelles philosophiques des années 1960, sur les fonctions respectives de l'histoire, de l'anthropologie, des sciences dites humaines, et de la philosophie ont installé la Révolution française au cœur des débats. Le plus fameux d'entre eux a opposé Jean-Paul Sartre et Claude Lévi-Strauss, et, dans son sillage, Michel Foucault a promu, contre Sartre, une conception scientifique du savoir sur l'homme où la Révolution française n'a plus eu aucun intérêt. Mais personne n'en est resté là.Quel est aujourd’hui le legs de ces querelles, pour les historiens et pour la manière de concevoir l’expérience politique de la Révolution française?Sophie Wahnich est directrice de recherche au CNRS (IIAC/EHESS/PSL).
