L'Auberge espagnole – One Year in Barcelona is a cult student film from the early 2000s. At the time of European enlargement, Cédric Klapisch’s film tells the story of young people from various EU countries who, as part of the Erasmus program, study, live, and grow together in Barcelona. The film focuses on the impact of a European student exchange program on the lives of young people and depicts, with enthusiasm and humor, a spirit of renewal, cultural diversity, and a shared European identity. Today, it is considered a remarkable cinematic portrait of a new European generation.
Luxembourgish film historian Yves Steichen will introduce the screening, placing the film and its impact within its historical context. He will also discuss other examples from cinema history dealing with understanding between peoples, especially after conflicts within 20th-century Europe.
The screening will be followed by a convivial drink for participants to share and discuss.
