Podcasts on Céline Sciamma and her films

Seventh Row published the first full-length book on Céline Sciamma's films in 2020: Portraits of resistance: The Cinema of Céline Sciamma. It is still the only non-academic book on her work.

Jumping off on our research for the book, we have published several episodes on Sciamma's films, as well as an episode discussing the book. We also did an episode on Céline Sciamma's history with the Cannes Film Festival as part of our Women at Cannes podcast season.

Ep. 96: Water Lilies and Jennifer’s Body: Girlhood and compulsory heterosexuality

In this episode, we discuss two films about close female friendships between teenage girls — that may tip into sapphic love — and how they are affected when the girls are possessed by the patriarchy: Céline Sciamma’s Water Lilies (2007) and Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body (2009).
