GENEVIEVE CLANCY, INSTANTS OF LIFE

The French poet and philosopher Genevieve Clancy (1937-2005) does not distinguish
her writings (radical in terms of both sense and style) from political action against all
forms of oppression and exclusion. Using archival material and the accounts of those who
shared with her the necessity to respond, through their creations and activities, to
contemporary history's challenges, the film tries to reflect the movement of a thought
that dissolves the distance between prose and poetry, between personal and collective
life. It depicts a network of people united in their refusal to accept the compromises required
in our times, who reveal with their work the possibility of another reality.
