Die Liebe ist ein Mythos – Delphine Seyrig
Through Agnès Varda, Katja Raganelli met Liliane de Kermadec, and through her met Delphine Seyrig, one of the most formidable presences in all of French cinema. In the 1970s, Seyrig was not only an iconic actress in art films and genre fare alike, but also a leading figure of feminist video activism – the latter being a part of her work that was only more recently rediscovered.
