Delphine et Carole
This is a documentary about the encounter between the mythical actress Delphine Seyrig and the video artist Carole Roussopoulos, that will take us straight to the heart of feminism of the 1970s. In this movie they are both involved in the struggles of feminism with insolence, intransigence and humor.
Making use of a generous selection of excerpts from feminist works of the video groups Les Insoumuses and Video Out, as well as talk shows with Simone de Beauvoir, Marguerite Duras and Chantal Akerman, among others, this film writes a chapter in the history of feminism and traces the beginnings of a creative political practice that used boldness, humor and subversion to unite collective action, media intervention and archival documentation.
Movie critics
“This documentary archive on the main French feminist figures of the 1970s, is an essential basis for a better understanding of the #MeToo movement debate”—Cineuropa
“A very illustrative documentary (…) Will delight movie lovers, French culture and those who show interest in feminism.”—The Hollywood Reporter
"A film that, more than being a trip to nostalgia, has an enormous urgency and actuality today."—MicropsiaCine.com
