HélÚne Trésore Transnationale
Synopsis
In this intimate portrait addressed directly to HĂ©lĂšne Hazera, filmmaker Judith Abitbol revisits a key figure of Franceâs countercultures from the late 1960s to the 1990s. A member of the Gazolines and the FHAR (Homosexual Front for Revolutionary Action), Hazera was a tireless LGBTQ activist who founded Act Upâs Trans and AIDS commissionsâone of her proudest achievements. Her true victory, however, was becoming the first transgender journalist at a major national newspaper (LibĂ©ration), and later a producer at Radio France and France TV. Through her story, Abitbol reconnects with the insurrectionary spirit and creative chaos of those decadesâan era when French culture was shaken by radical imagination, humor, and defiance. The film celebrates these modern Antigones who dared to live their desires beyond the reach of any law.
