following the screening of AFTER WINTER COMES SPRING, dir. Helke Misselwitz
Partners: Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, The Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation
A collective portrait of women and girls from the German Democratic Republic captured one year before the social and political transformation by Helke Misselwitz will open the retrospective film section accompanying the exhibition “No Master Territories” (“Bez mistrza, bez pana. Ruchomy obraz i feministyczne tworzenie światów”) at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. Both the film section and the exhibition are curated by Erika Balsom and Hila Peleg. Following the screening of the film “After Winter Comes Spring”, they will discuss the importance of looking back at the films by female documentary filmmakers from different parts of the world from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, when the women's liberation movement changed the way we think and shaped feminist demands relevant to our contemporary understanding of equality.
