With starry eyes, we have discovered quite a number
of superb new films by, for and about women, which we are keen to
present to you.
Inspired by Annemarie Schwarzenbach and Ella Maillart, we invite you on a journey
to the East, to the Afghanistan of the late 1930s, right up to the Taiwan of
today.
Die
Reise nach Kafiristan (journey to Kafiristan) depicts the adventurous
trip of both women, a movie that is as passionately made as it
is elegiac! We are also showing original film material by Ella
Maillart.
But firstly we are off to Northern Albania with Agnès Bert’s documentary
film Man
wird nicht als Mann geboren, (one is not born as a man) where women are able
to live as men if they renounce wedlock and vow to remain chaste… In addition,
the enchanting Australian short film The
Uncertainty Principle and F.Scott
Fitzgerald slept here are included: an exhilarating queer programme!
In Offside we
find ourselves in Teheran, at the World-Cup qualifying match of Iran versus Bahrain.
A woman is allowed into the stadium only as a man. These football-crazy girls
in a virtually documentary-like movie allow us to defiantly and fearlessly sense
the beginning of a revolt.
The documentary Lakshmi
and Me interweaves gender, class and race into a volatile political film
in dazzling pictures.
Our excursions to the East are set alongside a selected programme of Western
and even Munich women film-makers. The film-maker Uli Bez portrays in Von
heute an! the grande dame of the lesbian movement, Anke Schäfer. Ein
X für Dr. Schmitt cunningly gives not only Munich women the runaround.
In accompaniment to Bimovie 14, Uli Bez offers an
introductory course to film-making for women. We are also especially pleased
to hear that: Anke Schäfer and Uli Bez are comming to Bimovie!
Tick
Tock Lullaby, the new film by Lisa Gornick deals with the question
of parenthood and artistic creativity with esprit, beautiful drawings,
in an extremely fleet-of-foot way with much fun.
And here is this year's very lesbian short film programme with Vibracall from
Brazil, where school can be really so stimulating, Four
Feet, looks into the future, shrill-coloured dildos recommended by sex goddesses
in His
Name is Cosmo. Showering in the dark in Spinning,
the solemn tranquility in Im
Fluss, in Members
Only we finally learn why moving house is always such a problem, Butch
or Consequences is pure satire. Decisions are required in Red/Blue,
and Private
Life is not only a superb spectacle picture.
Finally, due to the promise of Spider
Lilies blooming by the wayside, we too are lost on a tremouring Earth of
yearning love and responsible, conscientious sisterhood.
Have fun!
