Masterclass Claire Denis / Alliance Française Toronto - Septembre 2018

"Carrière, c'est un mot auquel je n'ai jamais pensé". "En faisant ce métier, j'ai zappé le fait qu'être une femme était un handicap". A l'occasion de la présentation de High Life au Festival de Toronto 2018, ou elle a reçu le Ebert Tribute pour l'ensemble de son œuvre, et d'une retrospective, Claire Denis a donné une masterclass à l'Alliance Française de Toronto, où elle revient sur sa vie, de la cinéphilie d'adolescence jusqu'à son statut d'icone mondiale, en passant par ses années – formatrices – en tant qu'assistante-réalisatrice.
