Film Screening: Briser le silence des amphis (Breaking the Silence of the Lecture Halls)
Bush House South East Wing, Strand Campus, London
In the documentary ‘Briser le silence des amphis’, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and staff members testify to the sexist and sexual violence they suffered on a French university campus.
Join this special screening to learn more about gender violence, and how we can explore and address this through film, and the documentary’s contribution to the fight against sexist and sexual violence in higher education and research.
One of the almost systematic consequences of this violence is the silencing, and therefore their omission. Making these stories heard is, beyond their individual liberating impact, working to complete the missing part of a collective history.
The screening (50 minutes) will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with Corinne Nativel - a producer on the film, Professor Jelke Boesten and Dr Phoebe Martin – with conversations around sexual harassment against and among young people, safe and unsafe spaces, and contributing toward positive changes at university.
