I like it

The presentations during this salon, war oriented due to the latest exhibition Le Mépris, (or Contempt) named after the film by Jean-Luc Godard, will include two new works by L.A. Raeven, an analysis of both Battlefield 2 and the game America's Army, Loud & ClearTOO films and finally a less macabre karaoke show with Brigitte Bardot songs.
