From the Black feminist film scene in the US and film gatherings in Europe in the 1970s to
poetic negotiations of borders and memories between Nigeria, Thailand, and Germany, this two-
day film and conversation program at Maysles Documentary Center is looking for connections
between historical and contemporary feminist film, tracing the stories, times, and border-crossing
lineages of its existence.
The event opens with a selection of films based on the feminist elsewheres research on the 1973
First International Women’s Film Seminar, Berlin. Other programs will include the complete
works of Monica Freeman, contemporary films by Arisa Purkpong & Jana Buch as well as
the German Television production The Snake in My Bed by LA Rebellion director Omah Diegu.
