About The Event

Claire Simon, 2023, Documentary, 168 min.
In French with English Subtitles
Film introduced by Aubrey Gabel

French documentary titan Claire Simon observes the everyday operations in the gynecology ward of a public hospital in Paris. In the process, she questions what it means to live in a woman’s body, filming the diversity, singularity and beauty of patients in all stages of life. Through these many encounters, the specific fears, desires and struggles of these individuals become the health challenges we all face, even the filmmaker herself.

“An intimate, moving, intelligent doc about the frontlines of women’s healthcare.”
–Jessica Kiang, Variety
