17:00 - Selection 2 / Curling Eyelashes - Feminisms of the Everyday (89 min.)
Women confront structures of oppression in all aspects of life. The seeming invisibility of the patriarchal ideology is put into question by the filmmakers of this selection, as they take control of their own narratives, images and means of production. By engaging documentary form with newer online formats such as TIKTOK, we hope to explore the diverse modes of expression through audio-visual means.
Curated by Şirin Fulya Erensoy and Julia Lazarus (Radical Film Network Berlin)
