Jenny Cartwright

Jenny Cartwright devotes her work as a documentary filmmaker to taking stock of the society in which she lives. She explores themes of self-determination and inequality - to which she returns again and again - through topics such as gentrification, activism, work and poverty. It is through this bias towards the sidelined that she attempts to combine poetry and manifestos. In 2019, she made her first sound documentary, Debouttes!, awarded in 2020 with the NUMIX prize for best podcast in the history category. With this project, she discovers a medium that reminds of literature by its strong evocative power: love at first sight is great and sound creation becomes her medium of choice.
