Synopsis :

Filmmaker Carole Roussopoulos died in 2009 after a lifetime of filming women. In this well-founded and significant tribute, De Riedmatten employs fascinating archival footage to show how she used her camera to bring to light the struggles of the oppressed: factory workers, gay rights activists and particularly feminists, whose movement she documented from its earliest days to its waning in the 1980s. The only filmmaker to have captured the meetings, events and speeches of france’s human rights movement, she’s also the first to have used the then-emerging medium of video as a political tool. With her friend, actress Delphine Seyrig, she launched the production company les insoumuses, co-directing films like S.C.U.M. Manifesto and Maso et Miso vont en bateau, legendary today for their humour and radical outlook. She also produced stunning portraits of militant women, their poignant simplicity a tribute to her listening skills and deep empathy. Carole Roussopoulos, une femme à la caméra bring us a woman for whom social engagement, filmmaking and personal life were as one. Portrait of an inspiring personality not to be missed.
