Collectively directed by Seyrig, Carole Roussopoulos, Nadja Ringart and Ioana Wieder under the name of their feminist video collective, “Les Insoumuses,” Maso et Miso vont en bateau is a parodic reconstruction of a televised event. When the United Nations declared 1975 to be the “year of the woman,” the French government aired a special on the subject that featured commentary from the male Secretary of State for Women and a host of toxic male guests. The film’s title, Maso and Miso, stands for “masochist” and “misogynist,” calling attention to the patriarchal underpinnings of French media and politics.
