LA GRÈVE

Misogyny has been gnawing away at us since childhood. It subjugates us, it drenches and overwhelms us, it corners us, imprisons us, and locks us away. And it has been doing so for centuries. Drawing on the words of Ovidie, who, in *La chair est triste hélas* (2023), denounces the diktats of heterosexuality and puts an end to her sexual relationships with men.
The film presents symbolic and suggestive photographs in a multifaceted collage drawing on everything from unexpected archival footage to outdated advertisements. It brings to light a collective memory of how women are viewed. Be prepared to be challenged, captivated and aghast at the irony.
A creative and humorous take on a powerful text, where the mundane intertwines with violence, and where deconstruction is pursued with a punch.
