A painter, a naked woman, and a camera. In this triple constellation we explore the power of the gaze and the roles it imposes on us. An artist's studio turns into the setting for questions about how we look at and perceive women.

In the 1970s, Françoise d'Eaubonne stood out in the French intellectual landscape. At 50, she has already won several literary prizes and published around forty novels and essays, but is resuming her militant fight with renewed vigor. She is the first to define ecofeminism, denouncing the common oppression of women and the planet as a consequence of patriarchy. She participated in the actions of the MLF (Women's Liberation Movement), in the creation of the FHAR (Homosexual Revolutionary Action Front) and theorized counter-violence, going so far as to sabotage the construction site of the Fessenheim nuclear power plant. This film presents unpublished documents for the first time. Drawing freely from the manuscripts and photographic archives that she bequeathed to the Memory Institute for Contemporary Publishing, her relatives and researchers, historians and publishers comment on the resonance of her feminist and ecological heritage.

This music video comes from a position of feminine self-expression and autonomy. We stand as witnesses to a woman giving birth to another part of her identity. In this case, let’s take it in a literal sense as we will see The Saint pushing The Whore out of her body. We begin with these two women celebrating their sensuality and having a firm grasp of their autonomy. And then as the story progresses, we are introduced to a new character who’s convinced it’s his right to take that agency away. But he’s clearly misguided. DIVA! is the pursuit of amplifying the very fact that The Saint in us can co-exist with The Whore as well as The Bitch, The Slut, The Boss, The Motherfucking Diva, and a lot more. It is a celebration of our endless rebirth.
