'Night of Ideas' — Villa Albertine & the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States

Capturing the artistic and intellectual effervescence of an entire “Night of Ideas” in New York City, when thought leaders, activists, performers and authors engage the public in discussions around major contemporary issues.

We documented an all-night long marathon of talks, debates and performances, catching the emotional and intellectual power of ideas brought to the table by figures like Patti Smith, Leïla Slimani, Kathryn Kolbert and Yann LeCun.
