Directed by Nadja Ringart, Ioana Wieder, Carole Roussopoulos, and Delphine Seyrig | 55 mins | 1975
1975 has been declared Year of the Woman by the United Nations, prompting popular television Bernard Pivot to host then-Secretary of State for the Condition of Women Françoise Giroud on his program, where she’ll be asked to respond to a litany of misogynistic statements from various French public figures. This smarmy broadcast ambush is the basis of the Les Insoumuses collective’s viciously funny deconstruction strike-back, "Maso and Miso Go Boating", in which Seyrig and Roussopoulos employ subversive re-edits, ironic intertitles, and other techniques of the Situationist détournement to undercut and tactically decimate the smug, condescending, paternalistic assumptions at the heart of Pivot’s special, titled “One more day until International Women’s Year—Oof!—is over.”
