Dr Dominique Carlini Versini joined the Positionalities: The Women in French International Podcast as a guest, taking part as an invited contributor in a wide-ranging conversation on feminist filmmaking and the distinctive evolution of French horror cinema.
In Episode 5 – Women Reimagining Horror, she appears alongside Prof Michèle Bacholle (Connecticut State University) and Dr Emma Flynn (University of Glasgow). The episode focuses particularly on the French context, examining how women filmmakers working in France reinterpret horror tropes, challenge the genre’s gendered history, and push its aesthetic and political boundaries.
The discussion explores:
feminist re-readings of horror conventions within French cinema,
the significance of women directors in shaping contemporary French genres,
and the relationship between horror, representation, and gender politics in France.
The conversation highlights the innovative contributions of leading French filmmakers such as Julia Ducournau and Coralie Fargeat, whose bold, transgressive work has brought French feminist horror to international attention.
