Le mythe de la femme noire
Le Mythe de la Femme Noire is a feature-length documentary that explores the image of black women in society, from the sexualized Jezebel to the well-liked Nanny to the “angry” black woman. Experts say the Black community is the minority most affected by stereotypes invented centuries ago. In this film, Black women, all of which are acclaimed leaders in their fields, tell of the challenges these made-up representations of them have created in their lives.

Chien blanc
Adapted from Romain Gary’s novel. 1968. United States are on the verge of implosion: Martin Luther King is assassinated and racial hatreds put the country to fire and blood. Romain Gary, who lives in Los Angeles with his wife, the actress Jean Seberg, takes in a stray dog. The dog quickly finds his place in the house, with Diego, the couple’s only son. He is affectionate with everyone. Everyone, except Black people. This is because White Dog is a dog specially trained to chase away Black protesters. For Seberg, who is very active in the Black Panthers, it is unthinkable to keep the dog, but for Gary, it is unthinkable to shoot him. Gary is fixated on this animal: he cannot abandon it. He entrusts him to a kennel in the hope of curing the dog of this hatred that man has embedded in his body. And it’s Keys, a black healer, who takes charge of reforming the beast. Inhabited by his own tragedy, he will not take shortcuts to do his job. Official Selection – Filmfest Hamburg- 2022Official Selection – Festival Cinemania – 2022
