Berlin Feminist Film Week x Xposed Queer Film Festival

Please note that this program does NOT run in the regular cinema but as an installation, which only holds a small amount of people at a time. The program will run 3 times each day throughout the weekend so we hope you will all have the possibility to see it!

We are honoured to annouce that we are collaborating with The Xposed International Queer Film Festival for their 11th film festival and will contribute with a selection of short films for their LADIES(*) ROOM at Moviemento. A selection of films, which have all been shown at the Berlin Feminist Film Week, on the topic of body autonomy will be shown daily from May 19th to May 22nd. Of course, everyone regardless of gender identity is welcome to join the screenings!

May 19th - May 22nd: 18:30, 20:30 & 22:30

More information about the BFFW x XPOSED program:

Women (as well as queer people) constantly have to fight for the right to bodily autonomy. Whether it comes to free gender expression, sexual violence, reproductive rights or beauty standards - women's bodies are trapped in societal norms about what is right and wrong, objectification and how one should act as a "woman". This short film program consists of a selection of short films dedicated to self-determination and body autonomy, which have been shown during the past three Berlin Feminist Film Weeks.

Frauen (wie auch queere Menschen) müssen ständig für das Recht auf körperliche Autonomie kämpfen. Sei es das Recht auf Abtreibung oder freier Ausdruck ihrer Geschlechteridentität, gegen sexuelle Gewalt oder gegen Schönheitsnormen - über das Richtige und Falsche des Frauenkörpers entscheiden oft gesellschaftliche Normen. Dieses Kurzfilmprogramm besteht aus Kurzfilmen, die auf den letzten drei Berlin Feminist Film Week gezeigt wurden, und widmet sich dem Thema Selbstbestimmung und körperliche Autonomie.
