LUX Audience Award Prize Screening – "Dahomey"

Strasbourg
European Parliament

November 2021. 26 royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin, the present-day Republic of Benin. Along with thousands of others, these artefacts were plundered by French colonial troops in 1892. But what attitude to adopt to these ancestors’ homecoming in a country that had to forge ahead in their absence? The debate rages among students at the University of Abomey-Calavi.

The LUX Audience Award is presented by the European Parliament and the European Film Academy every year. The award celebrates European cinema and aims to raise awareness about social, political and cultural issues in Europe.

The film will be screened in its original version.


Tickets are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
