SYNOPSIS

Known or unknown, then or now, athletes or amateurs, this film follows the intimate journey of 6 inspiring women who use sports to conquer their freedom, while retracing the great history of women’s fight to access sports for over 150 years.

150 years ago, there was no such thing as a woman running. Back then, it was impossible for her to imagine “abandoning” her husband and children at dawn on a Sunday morning, to take time out for herself, to remember that she had a body, that it belonged to her and that she could do with it as she pleased. Today, these women can be seen in our cities, our countryside and our sports fields. But who are they? What obstacles have they had to overcome to achieve their freedom? What risks did they take to gain the right to govern their own bodies? Aren’t they contributing to the evolution of male/female relations in our societies? Is sport really a shared, open, mixed space, where men and women can access and appear on an equal footing?

SYNOPSIS

A documentary investigation into the decline of women’s rights in the land of the free.

This documentary reveals the shocking reality of women’s rights in the United States. Despite its image as a beacon of freedom, the US imprisons more women than any other country, driven by sexist laws and a resurgence of religious extremism. From forced marriage to the criminalization of pregnancy, we witness the erosion of women’s rights in the heartland, exploring the stories of those impacted and the fight for resistance.

SYNOPSIS

This film takes us in the footsteps of Jennifer Ringley, to the heart of the 1990s Web, hoping to better understand what drives girls to film themselves, and the world to watch them. And perhaps we’ll be able to determine whether it’s superficial or revolutionary. A feminist approach or the new clothes of self-objectification ? Liberating or alienating ?

In the 1990s, an American student decided on a whim to film her daily life and put it online, thus becoming the first camgirl in history. At the height of her popularity, JenniCam’s site attracted up to 100 million visitors a week, she was interviewed on national TV and crystallized the fears and debates sparked by the arrival of the Web in our daily lives: some saw in it the advent of a narcissistic culture obsessed with spectacle, others the emergence of a new way of talking about oneself and creating links with strangers. In 2003, JenniCam closed her site for good. Since then, she has deserted the Internet. Yet since her retirement, her descendants have conquered the world : girls who film their lives and interact with strangers rule the Web and social media, from vloggers and youtubers to tiktokers of all ages.

SYNOPSIS

In cases of domestic violence, the children’s voice remains fragile in the face of a justice system that still too often considers it to be manipulated by the mothers. Mothers in Struggle recounts the paradox of 3 mothers who, by denouncing the sexual violence committed by their (ex-) spouses against their children, find themselves convicted of child nonrepresentation..

This is the story of the mothers who denounce the sexual violence committed by their (ex-)spouses against their children, and while trying to protect them, find themselves convicted of child nonrepresentation. Even as they dare to break the silence, they are faced with an impossible choice: leave their child in the hands of their abuser, or take the law into their own hands, sometimes risking their lives, to ensure their safety. There are those who remain silent about the violence suffered by their children, fearing that the state will take them away. Those who have to cope with legal proceedings and endure institutional abuse. These women each struggle in their own way, driven by the hope that the recent liberation of speech will change the way society looks at them.

SYNOPSIS

Today, more than ever, consumers are looking for toys for every age and all purposes, from the most traditional to the most innovative, and above all they want a constantly renewed choice, in tune with current trends. Ever more different, ever more surprising, always more to put it simply…

Toys are a trip down memory lane. Crucial to cognitive developmentand social interaction, toys also reflect the evolution of our society. Over the years, they have become the outcome of complex processes with consequences for our heritage, our economy and our environment. More than ever, they are at the heart of clashing realities: tradition versus globalization, relocalization versus production costs, producing without polluting, sustainable or disposable, reusable but not recyclable. It is these dualities that we are going to explore in this films.
