International Selection II
Fragments
Kırıklar
Canada, Documentary, 8’3O"
Women's voices are raised to give testimony of victims of sexual violence. It is through the reconstitution of a story with these fragments of experience that a societal portrait is painted throughout the documentary. Like a mosaic, we will put the pieces back together to build a unique story that could be that of any human being. The images want to reappropriate the female body in order to offer the position of body-subject and never again of body-object.
