We're off on a little getaway to Dunkirk for the Video Mapping Festival
Attention all Lille residents craving a breath of maritime air : just 30 minutes away, Dunkirk welcomes you with open arms and a whole bunch of iconic cultural events. What's in store for this weekend? A grand celebration of Dunkirk's history, commemorating the 85th anniversary of Operation Dynamo and the 80th anniversary of Liberation, with activities all over the city, the iconic "Little Ships" at the Commerce Basin, a commemoration ceremony for the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Dunkirk and Operation Dynamo (Saturday, May 24th), and finally, a major digital installation – Video Mapping Festival – from May 22nd to 25th. The visual journey traces the history...
the rise of extremism in Europe during the 1920s and 1930s, the mechanisms that brought them to power, and the price paid by the populations. All of this, accompanied by archival images, symbols, and key scenes, ranging from propaganda to the ballot boxes, including exile, battles, and the entire process of reconstruction.
