At the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic we enlisted the help of Heroine Lisl Ponger to fend off the boredom. We have had the honour of a weekly online film festival for 52 weeks during 2020/21. We travelled the world, visited many cultures and heard many stories.
We have had the honour of a weekly online film festival, curated Heroine Lisl Ponger, for the past 52 weeks but for now we are hitting pause
Die österreichische Künstlerin Lisl Ponger kuratiert bereits seit dem ersten Lockdown ein wöchentliches Filmprogramm auf der britischen Website Hundred+ Heroines.
Week 47, The Flâneuse : Originally the image of strolling or sauntering was ascribed to an affluent male, a literary gentleman from 19th-century France who moved unobserved, through the streets but was always observing.
Objects made by hand, some traditional, some unusual, some unexpected, and all show the ingenuity and dexterity of their makers.
Week 35, Health, Drugs and Rock n Roll, Drugs can heal or destroy, they can cause death or prevent it.
Week 34, I am Unbeatable, This programme is about violence against women – violence against minority groups, domestic violence, human trafficking, child marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM) and femicide. The problem knows no geographical borders, race or class boundaries, it is embedded in the power structure and inequalities of patriarchal society.
Texts cost £5 plus one standard rate message. Thank you!
