JEAN-PAUL CIVEYRAC DISCUSSES 'MY FRIEND VICTORIA'

Document audiovisuel

French film director Jean-Paul Civeyrac discusses how he dives into realism to find the inspiration for his films and the adaptation from Doris Lessing's 'Victoria et les Staveney'.
Adapted from a story by Doris Lessing, 'My Friend Victoria' is a complex, poignant portrait of two young black women in contemporary Paris. The film follows them from childhood into adulthood, with the older Fanny narrating the story of her friend and adoptive sister. Aged eight, Victoria spends a night in the home of a wealthy white family; years later, she encounters them again and her life is changed forever. As Fanny and Victoria’s destinies take them in separate directions, the drama offers a distinctly fresh take on racial identity in contemporary France.
