Special screening at the Méliès cinema of "Le Gâteau du Président" (The President's Cake) in the presence of Daniel Meier
The Méliès Cinema is hosting a special screening of the film Le Gâteau du Président (The President's Cake), a poignant comedy-drama set in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. The film follows 9-year-old Lamia, who is given the daunting task of baking a cake to celebrate the president's birthday. Accompanied by her friend Saeed, she sets out to find the necessary ingredients. This seemingly innocuous quest reveals the harshness of daily life and the violence of an oppressive regime.
A special session not to be missed, featuring Daniel Meier, Doctor of Political Science at Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA, Junior Professor Chair on Borders in the Middle East, and member of the CERDAP laboratory.
