RÉ-ELLES Festival. A new name to reflect the plurality of feminist struggles and gender issues

Read more  The RÉ·ELLES festival (formerly Docs au Féminin) is back with a new name, six guests, eight
screenings-meetings, off-site sessions, a sound installation and a retrospective to celebrate his
20th anniversary, until March 12 in Rennes. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Docs au Féminin becomes the RÉ·ELLES festival.
Programming manager Natalia Gomez-Carvajal explains this name change: "We wanted to stand out from exclusively female struggles. For us, it was a way to make clear our place in the plurality of feminist struggles and the diversity of genders." This new name also evokes a desire for a renewal of documentary cinema dealing with women's rights, in order to make room for all "them", via real-life cinema. 
No Breton director but a high-quality program.
March 11 will be entirely dedicated to violence against women. At the Champs Libres auditorium in Rennes, two films will be screened: at 14:30 p.m., "Chaylla", directed by Clara Teper (who will be present) and Paul Pirritano, and at 16:30 p.m. "Sunless Shadows" directed by Mehrdad Oskouei (who will be present). Both address the same subject but in very different territories: in France and in Iran. And on March 12, still at the Champs Libres, two films will be screened on the theme of the struggles against the oppression suffered by cis and transgender women, on intimate and public grounds: at 14:30 p.m., "Olmo and the Seagull" by Petra Costa and Lea Glob (accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing) in the presence of Olivia Corsini, actress of the Théâtre du soleil and protagonist of the film. And at 17pm, “Our bodies are your battlefields” by Isabelle Solas, in the presence of Anne Riche, the film’s editor. The festival also wanted to open up outside the walls of Champs Libres. It notably shifted its focus to the Frac or the Cinémathèque de Bretagne.
And this will be the case again this week with the screening at TransCanal of "Cause of Death" by Jyoti Mistri on March 10 at 20:00 p.m. Or even "Jungle" by Louise Mootz, at the bar La Part des Anges, on March 11 at 19:30 p.m.

Museums under influence: when ideology erases art

In "Bad Genre at the Museum," Didier Rykner denounces the growing intrusion of woke and decolonial ideologies into museums, accused of falsifying history, censoring works, and sacrificing art to militant causes. Through a series of concrete examples, he criticizes the trivialization of vandalism, racial obsession, cancel culture, and the ideological rewriting of works—all serious attacks on memory, universalism, and the mission of cultural institutions.

The review of sentences in the Paty trial

It is time to break with these legal ambiguities that undermine the social contract. The restoration of the Republic requires a justice system that names terrorism without euphemism, a massive revaluation of the teaching profession, and a secularism that yields nothing to fanaticism. Samuel Paty did not die so that his indirect murderers could benefit from reduced sentences in the name of an ill-informed youth or insufficiently proven intent. Let us protect the public education system, or accept its decline and the end of republican meritocracy. The time for leniency is over.
