Her Plot of Blue Sky

Her Plot of Blue Sky is a poignant film made by Kamila Kuc in collaboration with several Amazigh women living in a women’s center in Morocco. Through photographs taken by the protagonists, in the style of a poetic filmed diary, unfolds the disturbing testimony of one of these women survivors of violence, Fatima. Through this collage of still images and voice-overs, the authors reveal the invisible, intimate sphere of a harrowing daily life, as well as the behind-the-scenes work involved in creating a film that is tested by the sensitive, violent nature of the subjects tackled.

*The screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Kamila Kuc and Christine Chevalier-Caron.

Trained as a historian and sociologist, Christine Chevalier-Caron is head of research at Exeko. She is interested in the construction, deconstruction and reconstruction of historical narrative. Through this process, she questions mechanisms of exclusion and inclusion, as well as representations and their impact on social relationships. Christine currently leads research-creation projects in which she uses the arts to convey the voices of groups excluded or stereotyped by the dominant narrative. In addition to her work at Exeko, Christine teaches history at Collège Ahuntsic and Université du Québec à Montréal.
