Tribute to Jacqueline Audry

Image for this story

Jacqueline Audry: her name probably doesn't ring a bell, and that is quite surprising when you consider that Jacqueline Audry was the only female filmmaker in post-war . Between Alice Guy and Agnès Varda, she directed about fifteen films from 1946 to 1969, most of which were very successful with the public.

Yet, from the 1970s onwards, Audry became the great forgotten figure of French cinema. While her films are characterized by relatively classic direction, this doesn't explain her abrupt disappearance from memory, especially since her cinema stands out for the boldness of its themes, starting with Olivia, a story about young lesbian love and her adaptations of Colette's works.

LaCinetek invites you to discover her through this tribute in 4 films, showcasing how the spirit comes to the girls, provided they are entrusted with cameras.
