Le dimanche 6 septembre se tiendra la carte noire du festival afro féministe @wxoolfestival 🤎

L’équipe vous propose de découvrir les trajectoires croisées de quatre figures féminines en quête de liberté. Entre lutte, éveil, résistance et métamorphose, les 4 œuvres composent une mosaïque de récits intimes et puissants, où chaque parcours esquisse une manière singulière de s’émanciper.

Embrasure, 9’, France, 2023, Victoria Neto

En retard pour son partiel de sociologie, Danielle est paniquée en constatant que sa porte d’entrée ne s’ouvre plus. Elle appelle au secours le jeune concierge de l’immeuble, Yanis...

Mirror Mirror, 9’, Afrique du Sud, 2022, @sandulelaasanda

Une adolescente de 16 ans et sa fidèle meilleure amie s’appuient l’une sur l’autre alors qu’elles découvrent les mécanismes du plaisir personnel.

Pearls, 13’, Royaume-Uni, 2023, audekonan

Lorsqu’une écolière est victime de harcèlement sexuel, elle et ses amis doivent accepter leurs propres expériences et préjugés. Un court métrage sur le passage à l’âge adulte sur la sexualisation des jeunes femmes et des filles.

Manman Chadwon, 10’, Martinique, 2022, @afrodite_glad et @klelo.space

Une déambulation poétique où l’on suit la silhouette rouge coiffée d’épines de Manman Chadwon, une créature féminine mythologique qui, de sa naissance à sa quête de liberté, se transforme au fil des lieux qu’elle explore. Existe-t-elle vraiment ou est-ce un mirage, une légende que ceux qui ont cru l’apercevoir font perdurer ?
