As part of the temporary exhibition, “Bellum et Artes – Europe and the Thirty Years’ War”, the House of European History proudly presents three extraordinary and very different European films that represent and (re)imagine the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648).
The films 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.
Before the screening of each film, join us at 18.15 for a 45 minute tour for a guided tour of the Bellum et Artes temporary exhibition, assessing the Thirty Years' War through the lens of different kinds of art. The tour requires registration in advance (links below), and involves an 'active participation' method, based on 'Visible Thinking Routines'.
