Few directors have understood women as complex, dangerous agents of their own destiny quite like Claude Chabrol. This panel brings together experts, including filmmaker Prano Bailey-Bond, film scholar Virginie Selavy and season curator Catherine Wheatley, to examine the extraordinary actresses at the heart of his work – from Stéphane Audran’s cool, enigmatic wives and Sandrine Bonnaire’s coiled, working-class fury to Isabelle Huppert’s inscrutable, unrepentant transgressors – and to ask what his unflinching, unsentimental gaze on women reveals about the society he spent a career dissecting. Filmmaker and author Sean Hogan will join Prano Bailey-Bond, Virgine Selavy and Catherine Wheatley for this event. Tickets £6.50 Joint ticket available with Les Biches on Wednesday 23 September 20:40 NFT1. Tickets £17, concessions £14 (Members pay £2.50 less).
