Cinenova and Bildwechsel Screening in Berlin
Cinenova and Bildwechsel Screening in Berlin at the Globale Film Festival
5th and 6th November, Cinema Moviemento
To develop a non-patriarchal perspective was a priority topic of feminist film after 1968. Media archives like bildwechsel (Hamburg) and film distributors like Cinenova (London) turned feminist theory into an image practice. Focussing on the image politics of labour and the body we want to discuss with activists from both institutions about the relationship between feminist movement, film and art.

Cinenova is a London-based volunteer-run organization dedicated to preserving and distributing the work of women and feminist film- and video makers.
The programme represents Cinenova in its diversity and highlights certain aspects of feminism, racism, and post colonialism: A silent film by the female pioneer director Alice Guy Blaché on gender stereotypes, British filmmaker Sandra Lahire’s strong visual language reflecting society’s pressure on the female body, and a documentary by Prathiba Parmar addressing feminism, racism and solidarity between different radical civil rights movements in the US during the 1980s.
