Meeting with Christine Angot

Writer Christine Angot, a leading figure in contemporary French literature, will be a guest at the 65th edition of the Festival dei Popoli.

Her directorial debut with A FAMILY, in the official selection in the International Feature Film Competition, completes her literary work, which began in 1999 with the publication of ‘L'incesto’, a publishing case that launched her career as a writer.

In the film, Angot returns to Strasbourg where her father abused her when she was 13 years old, determined to break a long silence and face the repressed with family and companions.

On the occasion of her presence in Florence and in collaboration with Institut Français Florence, Institut Français Italia, the French Embassy and Unifrance, the writer will be a guest in the spaces of IFF, on Friday 8 November at 6 p.m., with a talk moderated by Isabella Mancini, spokesperson for Casa delle Donne Florence and president of Nosotras Onlus, an intercultural association of native and migrant women.

The meeting will be in presence and online, within the Salon de lecture of the Institut français.
