Wir, Europa 2021

Festival of Nations

Directed by Maryna Stepanska

Animated short film about the book by the French author Laurent Gaudé "Nous, l'Europe. Banquet des Peuples" (Wir Europa. Fest der Völker) what was awarded the European Book Prize in 2019. In a long poem and a language in free verse, between poem and narrative, Gaudé reviews the development of the European idea since the mid-19th century - and defends it with virtuosity. The press described the work as "an ode to the past 150 years of European history".
