„The Woman's Greatest Value Is Her Silence” and „Battlefield”

Opening of the HER DOCS FILM FESTIVAL

Join us for the opening screenings of the HER DOCS FILM FESTIVAL.

Before the opening film from the ANOTHER STORY section, A Woman’s Greatest Virtue Is Silence, we’ll screen the short film Battlefield.
Battlefield (dir. Silvia Biagioni) is a film that, through a blend of archival images and present, revisits the feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s, uncovering a history of the female body as a space of resistance, control and emancipation.

The Woman's Greatest Value Is Her Silence (dir. Gertrud Pinkus) is a story of a young migrant woman from southern Italy who travels to Frankfurt in search of a better life, told through an extraordinary blend of documentary, fiction and re-enactment. With tenderness, irony and a keen awareness of women’s experience, the film transforms a seemingly private story into a powerful reflection on uprooting, dependency and the search for a place of one’s own.

The film is presented as part of the ANOTHER STORY section.

Age rating: 16+
