FILM SOCIALISM

Symposium

A cruise ship – the Costa Concordia, which later sunk off the coast of Italy – charts a course around the Mediterranean, calling at locations that are both flashpoints in contemporary politics and haunted by history: Spain, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Palestine, Ukraine. Patti Smith strums her guitar, Alain Badiou gives a lecture to an empty auditorium, while a spy story involving gold captured in the Spanish civil war plays out on the margins. Meanwhile, a camera crew report on a family in rural France as pair of children summon their parents before a tribunal for crimes against childhood.
