Festival Conversations

In partnership with PSL University’s SACRe-PSL doctoral programme

Festival conversations is a seminar that puts practitioners front and centre. Open to the public, it is a critical space designed to explore documentary practices, their specificity beyond the realm of film, and examine what the term ‘documentary’ represents for the various players in the artistic and cultural field who claim it as their common denominator. Co-funded by the SACRe-PSL programme, it also provides an opportunity to present research projects by doctoral students between the day’s two round tables.

Festival conversations #7 | Ecofeminism

In 2026, Festival Conversations #7 will focus on ecofeminism: an intersectional, decolonial, and anti-capitalist struggle. It will draw on the work of philosopher Emilie Hache (author of De la génération. Enquête sur sa disparition et son remplacement par la production), with the participation of film historians Teresa Castro and Becca Voelcker, among others. 

And also…

A program of films will echo ecofeminist thought and action, mirroring this time of discussion with Five Years Diaries by Anne-Charlotte Robertson and the Indian group Yugantar (Sudesha) and others.
