How interesting, thank you Barry for forwarding it. The said period
sees me sad at school... :-(
what is interesting also (besides a retrospective of Debord - on its
own worth the trip) is that work by Aldo Tambellini will be shown, I
feature him on the Poets Corner, it would be majestic to have time and
follow film festivals, as I used to do not too many years ago. Maybe
one day, who knows.

If you wish to meet Aldo Tambellini:
