Carole Roussopoulos
Carole Roussopoulos, video pioneer, founder of the Simone de Beauvoir Audiovisual Center with Delphine Seyrig, has directed more than 100 films. She is known for her commitment to feminist movements. Born in Lausanne, she moved to Paris in 1967 and founded the militant video collective Vidéo Out in 1969. Since then, she has never ceased to give a voice to the "voiceless", oppressed and excluded. In the wake of May 1968, her favorite subjects are the great movements: workers, anti-imperialists, homosexuals and above all feminists. With Delphine Seyrig, she co-directed two humorous pamphlets: Maso et Miso vont en bateau (1975) and S.C.U.M. Manifesto (1967). Between 1973 and 1976, Carole Roussopoulos taught video at the University of Vincennes. In 1999, she directed Debout !, a documentary on the women's liberation movement from 1970 to 1980. At the end of her life, she finished an eponymous documentary about her friend Delphine Seyrig, paying tribute to the convictions of a committed actress.
