This film is a tribute to Delphine Seyrig and her fascination with the book "Calamity Jane's Letters to her Daughter". These letters, which are letters from a mother to her absent daughter, became an emblem of feminism in the late 1970s. Delphine Seyrig had planned to make a film about Calamity Jane to reveal all the sensitivity she expressed, as well as her view of life, in these letters, which were never received by her daughter because they were never sent. The reading of this correspondence opens the way to a personal reflection on feminism and the mother-daughter relationship. It is also a tribute to feminine creativity, as well as a form of commitment to continue sharing women's stories.
Ovaj film je omaž Delphini Seyrig i njenoj očaranošću knjigom “Pisma Calamity Jane za kćerku”. Ova pisma – pisma majke odsutnoj kćerki, postaju amblem feminizma u kasnim sedamdesetim. Delphine Seyrig je planirala snimiti film o Calamity Jane kako bi prikazala svu osjećajnost koju je ova ispoljavala, al i njene poglede na život u ovim pismima, nikada primljenim jer nikada nisu ni poslana. Čitanje ove prepiske otvara pristup ka jednoj ličnoj refleksiji feminizma i odnosa majke i kćerke. To je ujedno i priznanje ženskoj kreativnosti, kao i svojevrsnoj obavezi o dijeljenju ženskih priča.
Babette Mangolte (France, 1941) is a graduate of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Louis-Lumière as head operator. She moved to New York in the early 1970s and met director Chantal Akerman: they shared a feminist point of view and collaborated on numerous films. A privileged witness of the New York art scene, she made several films about performance, dance and theatre with Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainer and Robert Morris. She then directed her first film "What Maisie Knew" in 1975, which was the beginning of a list of other productions such as "Camera : Je ou La Camera" and "The Cold Eye " in 1980.
