Sun, Oct 25, 6:10 PM
From Page & Screen · Book & Film Club Paris

🎬📖 **Welcome to the very first Page & Screen meetup!** Page & Screen is a new book club in Paris. Our first pick is *Klara and the Sun*, the new adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel, directed by Taika Waititi, with Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams. It just came out in French cinemas, and we’ll see it together in VO (original version with French subtitles). **The plan:** 🍿 **Sunday 25 October:** we watch the film together at UGC Les Halles. 📚 **November:** we read the novel in English, French, or any language you like. ☕ **End of November:** we meet up (in person or online) to talk about it: what the film changed, what it left out, and which version we preferred. **Practical info:** 🎟 Please book your ticket in advance (online or at the cinema). Let’s meet at around **18:50 at the cinema entrance** to go in together and find seats next to each other.

[EXHIBITION+OPENING RECEPTION] ... do you remember?

[EXHIBITION+OPENING RECEPTION] ... do you remember?

Sat, Nov 7, 5:00 PM
From The Dissident Club
4.5

In June 2026, thousands joined Ende Gelände in Germany to confront the expansion of gas infrastructure and other fossil-fuel projects, as heatwaves, wildfires, and extreme weather again pushed the climate crisis into everyday life, reaching Paris this summer. Do You Remember…? recalls the climate mobilizations of 2018 and 2019—school strikes, mass marches, occupied streets, and handmade signs calling for a livable future—actions that disappeared from the large public but live on in organizing and at sites where new fossil infrastructure is being built. This photographic series follows one of these moments of resistance, shifting between crowded protests and quieter scenes of planning, tiredness, care, and determination to show that protest is not just a single day, but ongoing work. As things have seemingly not improved, but worsened, climate breakdown, war, and water consumption of AI technology, the future seems increasingly unimaginable. The series do not promise resolution. They stay with the people who keep resisting and ask what it means to remember a movement while its fight is still unfolding. This exhibition is independent, self-funded and unaffiliated with Ende Gelaende or any other organizations. \-\-\-\- Kevin Chen is a photographer based in Berlin, exploring social movements, protests and the lives of everyday ordinary people. 🗓️SATURDAY 7th NOVEMBER from 6PM to 9PM 📍 58 rue Richer 75009 Paris 🔴 entrée = 1 boisson 🌐 visit www.thedissidentclub.org for more information
