SYNOPSIS

Women's voices are raised to give testimony of victims of sexual violence. It is through the reconstitution of a story with these fragments of experience that a societal portrait is painted throughout the documentary. Like a mosaic, we will put the pieces back together to build a unique story that could be that of any human being. The images want to reappropriate the female body in order to offer the position of body-subject and never again of body-object.

Theme(s): , Feminism, Human Rights, Sexual violence

SEE COMPLETE PROFILE

Having an atypical background, I mainly started the cinematographic creation by passion in a self-taught way. With a social worker education, I believe that this background will colour my projects, my subjects, my desire to tell people’s stories and my desire to make films that will have an impact on society. I wish I could carry out my projects, bring my ideas to the creative process. 

After writing and directing my own screenplays, I decided to jump into the void by returning to study at UQAM in cinema. I have just completed my studies and my two training programs (humans and studies) make me a person who wants to convey social messages.
