L'Héritage de la chouette

Each episode of this 13-part series about the topicality of Ancient Greek ideas in modern Europe works through a gradually expanding sets of questions, each focused on one of the original Ancient Greek concepts, such as democracy, logomachy and, in the last episode, philosophy. Staged symposia and interviews, quietly monitored by owls, are framed by collages of news reports and film quotes supplemented by essayist commentaries.
