Delphine
2019 | 14 minutes | Canada
Director: Chloé Robichaud
IWC Short Cuts Award for Best Canadian Short Film, Toronto International Film Festival, 2019
Delphine, a caustic portrait of power dynamics in our society, illustrates the journey of a young Lebanese girl who, in her own way, rises up against the intimidation she was subjected to as a child. Delphine is an ode to childhood, but also an examination of the wounds it can cause.
ABOUT THE PAIRING:
Screening ahead of Golden Voices, Delphine shares a reflection on the negative impact that alienation and othering has on a person trying to exercise their right to feel welcome at home, wherever that may be.
