"Die bleierne Zeit" im Delphi Lux

In the organizer's words:

It's finally time again!
Feminists Timetravel is going into the next round and this year we have a very special first film with us.

"Die bleierne Zeit" by Margarethe von Trotta - one of the most important female directors in German cinema!
Born in Berlin in 1942, she began her career as an actress before going her own way as a screenwriter and director in the 1970s. Her works tell of complex female characters, resistance and social upheaval. She was the first woman to win a Golden Lion in Venice with the film "Die bleierne Zeit".

SYNOPSIS
"Die bleierne Zeit" tells the story of the pastor's daughters Juliane and Marianne, who grow up in the young Federal Republic of Germany. Their strategies for dealing with the authoritarian structures of their childhood are as contradictory as their struggle for social change as adults: Juliane campaigns for women's rights as a feminist journalist, Marianne becomes increasingly radicalized and joins a terrorist group. When she is arrested, Juliane regularly visits her sister in prison and struggles to understand her and their relationship. But the ideological gulf between them remains wide. Finally, Marianne is found dead in her cell. Juliane doubts the official account of the suicide and tries to find out the truth about her sister's death. A struggle that also raises questions about her own role and responsibility. Margarethe von Trotta based the family tragedy on the biographies of Gudrun and Christiane Ensslin - she dedicated the film to the latter.

We are therefore delighted to be starting the year of feminist time travel with this outstanding film. The whole thing is taking place in cooperation with the Delphi Lux! Tickets are available now.
