Wild Child – Films with and by Isild Le Besco

In France, she's a star. Yet here in Germany, only very few people know Isild Le Besco (*1982). This is despite the fact that she's not just one of the most sought after young actors in contemporary French cinema, she's also one of its most radical filmmakers. None of her own films and very few of those in which she’s acted have received a regular cinema release in Germany, despite their having being shown at the Cannes, Venice, and Locarno festivals. Arsenal is now dedicating a program to the multi-talented Isild Le Besco and showing her three feature-length films alongside a selection of her works as an actor. We are very happy that the filmmaker, actress and screenwriter will be our guest at the opening.
