The weaker sex must become stronger - but how can this be achieved? The central keyword of the six filmmakers Claudia von Alemann, Susanne Beyeler, Erika Runge, Helke Sander, Ula Stöckl and Hanna Laura Klar is: emancipation. Together, they will discuss the importance of films for feminist consciousness-raising and the role of female filmmakers in this process. A statement will be followed by an exemplary feature film scene. Claudia von Alemann talks about the unequal division of housework and advocates the remuneration of this work. How can the relationship between work and family be improved for working women? What about bringing up children? What steps are necessary to overcome the unequal gender order? One thing is clear: Film work is political practice.
