'Femme de la rue' ('Woman of the street')

- Documentary about sexism on the streets (2012) -

In 2010, I was a student at the filmschool RITCS, located in Brussels, so I decided to move there.  I loved the vibrant atmosphere of the city, but I was also faced with a very frustrating phenomenon. On a daily basis,  I was treated with disrespect by men in the streets: cheap attempts to 'flirt', sexist slurs, intimidating persecutions,…  Since I was a filmstudent, I decided to make a documentary about this behaviour. I recorded the rampant sexism on tape, confronted the offenders and questioned women about how they deal with this problem.
