Ida Lupino, Gentlemen & Miss Lupino
Synopsis
Ida Lupino, the only woman immersed in the heart of a masculine Hollywood, is not only the film noir actress who replicates Bogart, she is above all a great director that history has forgotten. Since the late 1940s, she is the most prolific filmmaker that Hollywood has known until today. An avant-garde feminist, she brought to the screen subjects that the studios did not even dare to tackle; rape, abortion and bigamy, in puritan America. When Ida Lupino joined the Director Guild of America, the powerful directors' union, the sessions opened with this now famous phrase: Gentlemen & Miss Lupino. She was the only woman in the union's 1300 members. And even if she is a reference for Martin Scorsese for example, she is still forgotten.

Changing Rooms, by Violette Gitton
César is 12 when his older sister Lou is sexually assaulted. In the changing rooms of the fencing classes he attends, everything is measured by the yardstick of violence. César would like to take part in every fight, but he doesn’t have the weapons.
