📽Special film screenings at the House of European History! As part of the temporary exhibition, “Bellum et Artes – Europe and the Thirty Years’ War”, we proudly present three extraordinary and very different European films that represent and (re)imagine the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648).  🎟️ The first film screening will take place on November 13 with ''A Jester’s Tale'' - an anti-war, black comedy, set during the Thirty Years’ War. The film director and animator Karel Zeman (1910-1989), often called the Czech Georges Méliès, combines live action with animation, inspired by the artistic work and style of the Swiss-born, German engraver Matthäus Merian, who lived during the Thirty Years’ War. 💬 Before the screening, join us at 18.15 for a 45 minute guided tour of the Bellum et Artes temporary exhibition, assessing the Thirty Years' War through the lens of different kinds of art. At 19.00, the film will be introduced in English by film curator Wouter Hessels and will be followed by a Q&A and discussion. ✔Entrance to the screenings is free ⚔Registration in advance is mandatory 💡Book your space here https://bit.ly/3Ujoy9b The House of European History Rue Belliard 135 Brussels 1040 #Film #History #Museum #Free #Brussels
