La femme sans nom, l'histoire de Jeanne et Baudelaire
Director
The story of a ghost that haunts a work of the French painter Gustave Courbet. It is about Jeanne Duval, a black woman whose real name is not known, muse and companion of the poet Charles Baudelaire. Deleted from the painting by Courbet himself, Jeanne returned to the surface as if the paint pigments could not bear her erasure. Between archival footage and animation, this documentary paints a worthy portrait of the woman who inspired some of the most beautiful poems in the French language, although she has been mistreated by the poet's biographers, blinded by their prejudice.
Intersex
Director
For many, the world is divided between men and women. But what about intersex people who do not fit into either category? Since Vincent Guillot, as an adult, discovered the word that defines him —intersexual – he has never stopped looking for people like him in an urgent quest to understand himself. The German women artist Ins A Kromminga realised that she was different as a teenager. Born and raised as a girl, her body began to acquire male characteristics in puberty. Her eloquent drawings speak of the trauma that is inflicted on intersex people. With joyful determination and a great sense of humour, the characters in Régine Abadia’s documentary fight for the emancipation of a minority that is invisible and beaten and bruised by life. Their problem: medicine, which intervenes not only to treat, but also to adapt bodies to rigid female or male norms.
