Marie Perennès and Simon Depardon followed the gluers’ movement against sexual violence for months.
Their documentary film “Riposte féministe” will meeting collectives across France to gather the voices of activists and women.
The son of the famous photographer (Raymond Depardon present on the red carpet this Sunday) filmed their daily fight.
We first tried to explain that through these collages, these activists want to take back the public space because they have the feeling that it does not belong to them. There is this journey in the film: the body, space and the systemic problem of feminicides, which is at the origin of the collage movement,
interviewed by the organizers of the Festival.
Before the screening of the film, presented on Sunday in a special session, the gluers once again raised their fists when the director called out their first name.
The film was screened this Sunday afternoon.
The film is presented in a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival and is intended to be an important documentary to understand this movement.
