Two sisters (who are not sisters), two pregnancies, a two-seater car, a beauty queen, a poodle. The election of a second fascist – this time in Brazil. A crime thriller without a crime, ‘Deux Soeurs’ unfolds like a dream.
Based on an original screenplay by Gertrude Stein, written in 1929 as European fascism was gaining momentum, Deux Soeurs (Qui Ne Sont Pas Soeurs) is set in contemporary Paris in a moment of comparable social and political unrest. Casting an intimate network of the director’s friends and influences as its principle actors, from renowned New York school poet Alice Notley to educator Diocouda Diaoune and playing on Stein’s interest in autobiography and repetition, Deux Soeurs is simultaneously an abstract thriller and a collective portrait. An exploration of inheritance, responsibility, ethics and futurity. Deux Soeurs was shot by friend and collaborator Ben Rivers and features an original soundtrack by British composer Laurence Crane

Beatrice Gibson is een Frans-Britse filmmaker die in Londen en Palermo woont. Haar films staan bekend om hun experimentele en emotionele aard. Ze verkennen het persoonlijke en het politieke, en putten uit cultfiguren uit de experimentele literatuur en poëzie - van Kathy Acker tot Gertrude Stein. Ze worden vaak bevolkt door vrienden en invloeden, en citeren en incorporeren co-creatieve en collaboratieve processen en ideeën.
Gibson won twee keer The Tiger Award for Best Short Film, Rotterdam International Film Festival, respectievelijk in 2009 en 2013. In 2013 stond ze op de shortlist voor The Jarman Award for Artist's film en de 2013-15 Max Mara Art Prize for Women. In 2015 won ze de 17e Baloise Art Prize, Art Basel. Recent was ze de winnaar van het Images Festival Marian McMahon Akimbo Award for Autobiography 2019 en stond ze een tweede keer op de shortlist voor de 2019 Jarman Award for Artist's film.
Recente solotentoonstellingen vonden plaats in Camden Arts Centre, Londen, Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen Mercer Union, Toronto (2019) en KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlijn, (2018 ).
