The Quiet Rebel is what festivals like Satisfied Eye are all about. It’s a challenging documentary that takes one subject matter and then spins it in a profound and unexpected direction. It is, to date, the film with the highest number of perfect 10 out of 10 scores among our judges of any film we’ve ever screened! We urge everyone to see it.
THE QUIET REBEL (FRANCE) (48 minutes)
Director Carole Cassier
The controversial story of a little-known artist and her rise to unexpected internet fame, and shame after her performance art piece (where she knitted with wool that had been inserted inside of her) was captured on Youtube. What begins as a simple exploration of a woman’s art becomes a powerful and thought-provoking examination of the terrible potential of online bullying.
WINNER: Best Documentary, Best Female Director
