I Am Not a Witch
La scénariste et musicienne Marie-Douce St-Jacques propose un cycle consacré aux sorcières et leurs multiples métamorphoses dans une variété de genres et sous-genres, en tenant compte des revendications féministes actuelles qui commentent cette figure essentielle et mythique. Une table-ronde animée par Valérie Lefebvre-Faucher de la revue Liberté complétera ce cycle foisonnant.
In a remote Zambian community a girl is denounced as a witch and sent on a trajectory of exploitation, as a tethered member of a witches' camp, a witch for hire and a tourist exhibit.
