> This is the first documentary film on the International College of  
> Philosophy (Collège international de Philosophie: CIPH), founded by,  
> among others, Jacques Derrida and François Châtelet in 1983 in  
> Paris. The film consists of interviews with former presidents Michel  
> Deguy, François Noudelmann and Bruno Clément, current vice- 
> president Boyan Manchev, and with former and current program  
> directors Catherine Malabou, Francisco Naishtat and Gisèle Berkman.  
> The aim of this film is to consider the possibilities of the  
> humanities in general and philosophy in particular under the current  
> conditions of global capitalism. One of the main themes it tries to  
> develop is the "question of the institution", namely the  
> relationship between philosophy and institutions—a topic that was  
> very central for deconstruction as elaborated and practiced by  
> Derrida. For more information please visit: http://todai-yale.jp/
