CALAMITY
O.V. in French subtitled in English and Spanish
Winner of the Best Film Award at the Annecy Film Festival, here is the long-awaited new film by Rémi Chayé following Long Way North. It's the story of a young heroine: the well-known Calamity Jane, one of the most fascinating characters of the Wild West. A woman who made her way into a man's world, an adventurer who created her own legend while still alive. In this savage and empowering journey we will discover (through an immersive aesthetic universe of unparalleled color palette) how Martha Jane Canary-Burke became a legend that still resonates 150 years later.
