Oppressed Majority

Oppressed Majority

by Eléonore Pourriat

Eléonore Pourriat's short is set in a world with a reverse gender power structure. Female joggers strut around topless, and men who wear short pants can expect to be harassed. On what seems to be just another ordinary day, a man is exposed to sexism and sexual violence in a society ruled by women. The series of events seems absurd as the tables are turned, but may very well illustrate the bitter reality for some women in our non-fiction patriarchal society.

Also shown at the iFestival screening.
