#Female Pleasure, dir. Barbara Miller
Barbara Miller’s feature documentary “#Female Pleasure” portrays five courageous, smart and self-determined women, breaking the silence imposed by their archaic-patriarch societies and religious communities. With incredible strength and positive energy, Deborah Feldman, Leyla Hussein, Rokudenashiko, Doris Wagner and Vithika Yadav are fighting for sexual liberation and autonomy for women, beyond religious rules and cultural barriers. But their victory comes at a high price: they all have experienced public defamation, threats and prosecutions, have been excommunicated by the society they grew up in and even received death threats by religious leaders and fanatics.
SCHOOL OF SEDUCTION, dir. Alina Rudnitskaya
Russian women want men to support them financially, but at the same time they don't want to lose their independence. This is the dilemma at the heart of the film. Our three heroines take matters in their hands and start a course called ”The School of Seduction,” where they learn how to live, think and behave in order to be loved. But is this really what they want and dream about?
WHORE'S GLORY, dir. Michael Glawogger
Three countries, three languages, three world religions and one, the oldest profession - prostitution. In Thailand, prostitutes wait for clients behind Venetian glass mirrors, in which they flirtatiously look without seeing who is watching them. They frolic as if they were taking part in a miss prostitution contest. In Bangladesh, the men go to the filthy slums where cheap women of convenience make their sexual dreams come true. In Mexico, on the other hand, prostitutes pray to the Holy Lady. In a world where the intimate life of man has become a readily available commodity, prostitutes experience everything that can happen between a man and a woman. They take money for it, but in their lives, instead of fortune, there are only new, meaningless human stories.
WOMAN, dir. Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Anastasia Mikova
”Woman” is a worldwide project giving voice to 2000 women across 50 different countries. Despite its impressive scale, the film offers an intimate portrait of those who constitute half of the humanity, yet are still subject to violence and injustice. What “Woman” would like to underline most is the inner strength of women and their capacity to change the world despite all the difficulties they face. In this new era where women’s voices resonate more and more, the aim of the film is not only to call for rights or focus on problems, but to find solu-tions and try to reconcile the two genders.
A MODERN MAN, dir. Eva Mulvad
The film touches on tendencies characteristic of our time through the portrayal of the young and ambitious violinist Charlie Siem. As a violinist, he is constantly on tour. At the same time, he works as a model for several of the world’s leading fashion houses. This combination has made magazines label him a “rock star” violinist, and he has young audiences listening to his interpretations of Brahms and Beethoven in concert halls around the world. On the face of it, this sounds like the perfect life. But behind his photogenic facade Charlie struggles to create a life that meets both his own and the world’s ideas of success and happiness.
