One Narrates and So Does the Other

This workshop proposes a rewriting exercise to break some of the visual and narrative clichés that have become entrenched throughout the history of cinema, and which Varda also explored. What bodies can be filmed from the viewpoint of desire, free from the threat of punishment? What representations of masculinities can be liberating and favourable to the eradication of violence?

Irene Moray will accompany us in the creation, through writing, of disobedient, joyful female characters, far from the archetype of the eternal victim, and also of male characters who reject the role of hero and are based on listening, presence and empathy. Creating fictional characters, we will rewrite sequences of scripts and stories from the viewpoint of play and pleasure.
