How to film war? «War and Peace» tells the story of the century-old relationship between cinema and war, from the time of their first encounter, way back in 1911 with the Italian invasion of Libya, up to the present day. Forging ahead from the images captured by the pioneers of cinema to today’s twitter feeds, following young soldiers as they are trained to film war, the alliance between cinema and war appears to be a powerful one.

[IDFA] Four parts: remote past, near past, present and future. The directors reflect on how war is represented, but above all how the archives from the past are interpreted in the present. "I don't think early cinema was innocent. I think it's harsh, ferocious". It is an intriguing documentary, which raises many questions about the need to preserve these images and about how to educate in the representation of war.
