Ciné-conférence “Les Philippines”

Film talk.

Spectacular landscapes, terraced rice fields, idyllic beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters… Manila, a megacity of 24 million people, is the starting point for any journey to the Philippines, a land of stark contrasts between dazzling wealth and abject poverty.

Discovered by Magellan, colonised first by Spain and then by the United States, the 7,000 Philippine islands rise from the seas and the ocean. Volcanoes, typhoons, beaches and reefs combine to create a world of striking beauty. With its passion, hospitality and diversity, this country of contrasts blends modernity and tradition in a uniquely vibrant way.
