The female power of cinema

FILM CYCLE

FROM WEDNESDAY 6 ON WEDNESDAY 20/8
CAIXAFORUM. Eduardo Primo Yúfera, 1A

“Cinema is for me an act of love”, said the director of Summer 1993 y Alcarras, Carla Simon, When this program began to think that seeks to explore female power through cinema. The cycle focuses on three themes in which a dialogue between a short and a feature film is raised. The first block will be dedicated to creation [6]. We will see the short of Lynne Ramsay, Gasman (1997), y Nine Months (1978) but Marta is a lime, Two tapes in which women's emancipation processes are shown as a double creation game through motherhood and independence. In the block dedicated to love [13] We will see The consequences of feminism by Alice Guy-Blanché, FIRST DIRECTOR OF FICTION OF THE HISTORY, y If Fu Master! by Agnes Varda, two tapes that question female roles, their ways of feeling and desiring, as well as the construction of own spaces. The last block will deal with the idea of transformation. We will see the short Caprice by Joanna Hogg and Orlando de Sally Potter, two pieces that will point to the pressures exercised against women to fulfill their social roles. Each session is preceded by an introduction filmed by the Catalan director. G.LEON
