Mois du film documentaire 2025 - Projection et rencontre : Lisière, un film d'Éva Tourrent

Éva Tourrent delivers an intimate account from the heart of a feminist community living apart from the world, without men, in a secluded clearing in the south of France. Heirs to the Women's Lands, lesbian enclaves born in the 1970s, its members confront the new feminist struggles of younger generations. The film captures the fragile beauty of this concrete utopia, a place of transmission, resistance, and the quest for freedom. This film was selected for the 2024 Jean Rouch International Film Festival – Seeing the World Differently .

"A few cabins built on the hillside, on the margins of society and without men. A place of refuge, of collective and feminist transformation in the heart of nature. From this edge, alongside those who continue to build, I question my place as a heterosexual woman, my relationship, the violence I have experienced, the desire and the freedom to have a child. Here, the work is never finished." Éva Tourrent.

A journalism graduate, Éva Tourrent initially worked in public radio and television before completing a master's degree in documentary filmmaking at the Lussas School/University of Grenoble Alpes.
