Week 29, Experimental – We are used to the language of feature films. Experimental film challenges this make-believe reality by going back to the material itself, exploring its components such as filmic time, the possibility of making 24 decisions per second (Peter Kubelka), the frame and its borders, light and shadow, the film emulsion.
Week 28, Underwater Women : Women float through this programme gathering food, harvesting the ocean, repairing ships, dancing or performing as mermaids.
Week 27, Every Moment is Decisive: The photographic work by women from different times and places is the content of this programme.
Week 26, Still Celebrating : The celebration continues with friends’ own works or recommendations.
After sending out invitations to my female friends so many responded with gifts of their own films or suggestions that I decided to split one big party into two smaller ones according to Covid19 safety measures in real life that don’t allow for more than ten people to be together inside at the same time. Everybody that came to the first celebration is currently living and working in Vienna.
What is always or frequently named after or in honour of women and what isn’t, but should be, is the thread running through this programme.
Week 23, Inked : Adorning the skin, permanently or just for special occasions or a performance, this programme shows how different women from different cultures feel about tattooing, stitching or painting their bodies and touching on issues of tradition, self-empowerment and pleasure.
How to make blankets from feathers, knitted squares or juice packets and how quilt patterns aided slaves in their flight to freedom in the US South is the content of this programme.
Week 20, Enough Is Enough – Women are singing and dancing their protest; they’re organizing, marching or going on strike.
