Ideas for new passages to include on the map are very welcome. For more information visit www.europeanliterarylondon.org

Co-organised with the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Spain
The Institut Français in Spain presents in its French cinema evening two recent films that, from two completely different perspectives, coincide in presenting characters facing unexpected, and in some cases extreme, changes in their lives. The two films are directed by two veteran directors with a long career behind them: Jéróme Salle and Cédric Kalpisch. A comedy and a thriller not suitable for all sensibilities.
16:40 - 18:40 h Screening of One Step Ahead
The first screening is a comedy suitable for all audiences. In One Step Ahead, Élise is a great classical dancer who is forced to stop dancing after suffering an injury during a performance. From that moment on, her life is turned upside down and she must learn to rebuild herself... Élise's life is spent between Paris and Brittany, where she has encounters, experiences, disappointments and hopes that lead her to meet a contemporary dance company. This new way of dancing will allow her to give a new impulse to her life by discovering a new way of living. Nominated 9 times at the last César Awards, including Best Film and Best Direction. Directed by Cédric Klapisch and starring Marion Barbeau and Hofesh Shechter. Running time: 117 minutes.
18:55 - 20:55pm Screening of Kompromat
Kompromat. The Russian File is a dark thriller in which Mathieu, a French diplomat and member of the French Institute in Irkutsk (Russia), is arrested and imprisoned by the Russian authorities on charges of sexual abuse of his own daughter. He has been falsely incriminated by the Russian Federal Security Service; a distressing situation with very topical overtones in the European context. Directed by Jéróme Salle and starring Giller Lellouche and Joanna Kulig. Running time: 121 minutes.
The evening will be presented by Geoffroy Gerard, Director of the IE Foundation.
The films will be screened in their original language with Spanish subtitles
Price: €5.00 (EUR)
Organised together with the Institut Français and Ayuntamiento de Segovia
In order to lead a socially reasonable life, it is essential to set limits for others. This implies, at the same time, trusting oneself to respond effectively or keeping silent as the best response. The psychologist Alba Cardalda has poured her profound experience in this field into books with resounding titles: Cómo mandar a la mierda de forma educada and Cómo dejar de ser tu peor enemigo ('How to politely tell people to fuck off'). In short, we need to be clear about our criteria, show our red lines and stop them giving us advice if we don't ask for it.
Alba Cardalda is an expert psychologist in cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy, brief and strategic therapy and neuropsychology. For more than 10 years, she has been working in child, youth and adult therapy, both individual, couple and family therapy, and since 2017 she has been travelling around the world without a fixed residence. In addition, through her social media channels she shares tips to improve the daily well-being of her hundreds of thousands of followers.
At the end of the event, the author will sign copies of her books

Josep Borrell in conversation with José María Beneyto
A Geopolitics of Now: China, United States, Europe
–
IE University. Aula Magna
The international chessboard is undergoing a moment of accelerated transformation. Relations between China, the United States and Europe are the focus of geostrategic tensions, technological disputes and fundamental questions about global leadership, multilateralism and the defence of democratic values. Understanding this new geopolitics is key to interpreting the challenges of the present and projecting possible futures.
This high-level dialogue will bring together two key figures in European political thought and action. Josep Borrell, former High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, will contribute his diplomatic experience from the epicentre of the continent's strategic decisions. He will be accompanied by José María Beneyto, professor, jurist and author of fundamental essays on Europe and the global order, whose intellectual vision will enrich the analysis of the current situation.
During the first half of the meeting, the two will discuss the balance of power between China, the United States and Europe, the role of the European Union in a more fragmented international scenario and the keys to a coherent and effective foreign policy. In the second half, students from IE University's European Union Club, Oleksandr Mysyk, Vanessa Chioaru and Catherine Del Rio will join the conversation in an intergenerational dialogue that will highlight the voice of young people and their role in building the Europe of the future.
