Hand-to-hand, frame by frame

May 27th - 29th, 2021

In this series of short films, woman directors take hold of animation and the diversity of its techniques to express themselves on their relationship to the body in a world of social and visual codes forged by the male gaze. Pioneer animators (Suzan Pitt, Michèle Cournoyer) and emerging filmmakers (Élodie Dermange, Kabuki Sawako) come together in this program addressing menstruation, motherhood, menopause, puberty, sexual violence, beauty dictates, but which also celebrates female desire, the eroticism of their daring fantasies, and the pleasures of anatomical curiosities. This program was built as an echo to the third issue of Blink Blank, Eros au féminin (Spring/Summer 2021).
