Kino & Quatschen Vol. 7 • Alle zusammen, keine allein – weibliche Kurzfilmkunst

In the organizer's words:

What does feminist film language look like? How can resistance be told through aesthetics? And how does a film viewing become a community?
Kino & Quatschen - the indie cinema evening with a networking character - is entering its seventh round. This time the focus is on the Deutsche Kinemathek's feminist short film program "All Together, None Alone - Gangs of Women in Front of and Behind the Camera".

Four experimental short films from the 1970s and 1980s will be shown - visual manifestos, Super 8 poetics and queer-feminist perspectives on gender, desire and collective filmmaking. Directors Elfi Mikesch, Ute Aurand, Ulrike Pfeiffer, Maria Lang and a dffb student collective tell stories beyond standardized narratives - raw, playful, political.

Program & short descriptions:

• Oh! The Four Seasons (BRD 1986, director: Ute Aurand, Ulrike Pfeiffer, experimental film)
  Two filmmakers explore historical locations in Berlin, Paris, Moscow and London as the seasons change. A poetic play with space, time and cinematic reciprocity.
• Women's Camera (BRD 1971, dffb student collective, experimental film/documentary)
  Five female students document themselves and their view of women's roles - observational, collective, radically subjective. An early attempt to give the camera a female voice.
• Family Crypt - A Love Poem to My Mother (FRG 1983, Maria Lang, experimental film)
  A personal portrait between everyday observation and feminist self-reflection. Maria Lang combines familial intimacy with a political reading of gender roles.
• The Hyena's Breakfast (BRD 1983, Elfi Mikesch, b/w, experimental film)
  A young woman drifts between real rejection and violent daydreams. Elfi Mikesch stages the struggle for female autonomy in strong black and white images.

Afterwards, there is time for discussion: the movie theater becomes a community space. Actors, filmmakers, creative minds and cineastes get into conversation - perhaps the next crew for a joint film project will be formed here.
