Lisière
“A few cabins built along a hillside, on the margins of society and without men. A refuge, a space for collective and feminist transformation. From this edge of the world, alongside those who build it, I question my place in nature and in society, in my relationship, the freedom of my body, and the choice to have a child.” (Éva Tourrent)

How do we build new imaginaries? With what tools, what foundations, toward what landscapes? Éva Tourrent’s film appears as a beacon around which we might all gather to collectively reflect on the transformations at play in feminine desires. Here, the land is a land of women. Amid the trees, under the sun, some bodies reveal themselves, far from the gaze of men, rediscovering themselves on the margins of social injunctions. On this land converge multiple feminist currents, generations, and diverse expressions of sexuality. Freedom is tangible — as are the dizzying feelings it can awaken. These women build the shelters that house them with their own hands: they saw, they hammer, their feet pack the earth. The filmmaker is there with them. From these images of reconstruction emerges her gentle, introspective voice; she shares with us her own intimate story with infinite delicacy. The demanding, unflinching gaze she turns toward her own desires allows her to illuminate ours in turn.
