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

Opening of the HER DOCS FILM FESTIVAL

01.10.2026 18:00
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+
