The Unforgettables

Directed by Lucile Bertrand

In The Unforgettables (Les inoubliables), 13 women interpret in their written languages the texts of 25 deceased women poets from different continents and eras who never met but nevertheless shared similar sentiments. Across eight scenes they respond to each other, producing a series of conversations about the constraints imposed on women, about wars and struggles, about writing and the boundaries of language, about relationships and the places we occupy in the world. Told in timeless black and white, the poems underline the extent to which the issues they address transcend time and space.
