Girl Power
A historical reflection and a thematic excursion into the past to meet iconic founding movies of a certain kind of independence: rage of living, resistance, rebellion and freedom. Carried by a global movement popularized in the 1990s by the Spice Girls and numerous pop singers, the Girl Power philosphy – which advocates for open-mindedness, tolerance and respect – goes way beyond music. This section was therefore an obvious choice: to create space for meetings, discussions and insights around the filmmakers that questioned, filmed and magnified this girl power of the 1990s and 2000s. A selection of six french and american films that question empowerment, a program of six powerful feminine gazes that embody a cultural and artistic phenomenon and that has continued to inspire entire generations of artists and filmmakers.
