Seyrig’s only solo-directorial feature concerns the discrimination faced by actresses in the male-dominated film industry—an issue that soured her relationship to performing and in part motivated her turn to feminist activism in the early seventies. Composed of twenty-five interviews Seyrig conducted with mostly French and American actresses—including Jane Fonda, Maria Schneider, Ellen Burstyn, Shirley Maclaine and Anne Wiazemsky—this impassioned documentary corresponds to a feminist mode of production prevalent at the time in which women speak directly to a video camera. Without artificial lighting and the pressures of a more involved set, the actresses are given the space and privacy to express their hopes and frustrations freely. Originally, Seyrig had intended to film her own testimony, but then realized that the other actresses “spoke the same language, and even better because they spoke spontaneously . . . they spoke for me.”
