Claire Denis Talks France’s New Abortion Rights Law; Judith Godrèche’s #MeToo Campaign & Upcoming Africa-Set Feature

This will be her first major fiction feature shot on the African continent since the 2009 drama White Material, starring Isabelle Huppert as a coffee plantation owner caught up in a violent revolution. In a masterclass over the weekend, the filmmaker recounted how she had worked as an assistant for a variety of male directors, most notably Jacques Rivette and Wim Wenders, after graduating from film school in the early 1970s. She recounted how she had awoken in Tuesday to a TV news item on the U.N. report saying that it had ‘convincing information’ that sexual violence had been committed in the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Southern Israel as well as against Israeli hostages in Gaza.
