Nuria Giménez’s movie combines fragments of the diary of the protagonist, Vivian Barret, with home footage shot by her husband Léon, depicting their daily life. A question arises from the evolving relationship between the text and the footage: how is Vivian’s image created? Professor Małgorzata Radkiewicz will present her lecture on the creation of women’s image in found-footage films by female directors.

Guest:

Professor Małgorzata Radkiewicz, PhD — film scholar, employee of the Institute of Audiovisual Arts at the Jagiellonian University. Radkiewicz studies female creators in cinema, photography, and art.
