About this Event

Logistics:In French and English with English subtitles. Open to all Princeton University students upon registration. All other attendees must purchase their tickets on the Princeton Garden Theater website.

Synopsis:Based on exclusive archives, this documentary shows an icon in a new light. Brigitte Bardot is the first icon of French cinema to achieve worldwide fame. Both a muse, an adored star, and a committed activist, she embodies a free but misunderstood woman. Loved too much or loved poorly, she moved through the spotlight before retreating to La Madrague, escaping public scrutiny and scandals. Today, she reflects on the many contrasts of her life: her meteoric rise, her status as a feminine icon, and her sometimes radical statements in her fight for animal rights. A pioneer in her convictions, she redefined the image of women and anticipated ecological battles that remain more relevant than ever today.

Organized by the Princeton University's Princeton Film Festival organization. We thank our sponsors and partners for their support (complete list ). Open to everyone regardless of identity. All rooms are wheelchair-friendly and attendees can contact us at [email protected] for special accommodations (preferably 48 hours before the scheduled event).
