The NFB, in partnership with the Sommets du cinéma d’animation, is pleased to invite you to an artist’s talk with filmmaker Lori Malépart-Traversy.

After her smash-hit student short Le clitoris, the filmmaker is back in a big way with a five-part series of animated documentary shorts entitled Magical Caresses. The series was broadly adapted from intimate accounts published in the Caresses magiques books designed and managed by Sarah Gagnon-Piché and Sara Hébert. A skillful blend of humour and confession, these four-minute shorts offer a variety of female perspectives, taking a healthy and candid approach to demystifying masturbation. Using the tremendous creative freedom afforded by animation, Malépart-Traversy has crafted a bold and insightful original series about solitary sexuality.

During the event, she will discuss her artistic journey, her creative process, the complexities of creating during a pandemic, her documentary approach and her willingness to examine taboos.
