On the occasion of the release of the film HLM Pussy on March 6 at the cinema, its director Nora El Hourch spoke to franceinfo. She talks about her sexual assault at the age of 20, which pushed her to make her first feature film.
While his first feature film is released in cinemas on Wednesday March 6, HLM Pussy, director Nora El Hourch, returns in the Franceinfo Talk on Thursday February 29 on the genesis of her film, which features Amina, Djeneba and Zineb, who post a video on social networks implicating the attacker of one of them. The three inseparable teenage girls will have to choose between their friendship or giving in to blackmail.
Like an outlet
“I haven’t dreamed of being a director all my life, smiles the director. It wasn’t a childhood dream: I’m just a girl who one day, at 20, suffered a sexual assault and who since then wanted to make a film about it, as an outlet.” “I could have made one a book, but I decided to put it into pictures straight away, continues Nora El Hourch. I’m speaking to little girls all over the world who, perhaps, one day, will be able to watch this film and, perhaps, one day, will have the courage to speak out.”
