César & Her

Festivals & Series

On the occasion of the International Women’s Day on 8 March and a century exactly after suffrage was open to women in the UK, almost a century after Virginia Woolf wrote A Room of One’s Own, and 70 years since Simone de Beauvoir wrote The Second Sex, what room is there for women directors in the Pantheon of French cinema?

Let’s have a look at the women that were celebrated in France’s most prestigious Cinema Award ceremony, the César, with this season, César & Her, showcasing the films of the likes of Coline Serreau, Agnès Jaoui or Céline Sciamma.
