I would like to draw your attention to an event organised by the Goethe-Institut that might be of interest to GWL blog readers. Acclaimed feminist director Helke Sander is in Glasgow. She will show her film “Break the power of the manipulators” on Sunday, 11 May in the GFT and participate in a panel discussion at the Goethe-Institut about the impact of the ‘revolt’ in 1968.

Both politically and artistically, this pioneer of the German women’s movement and of filmmaking has always been far ahead of her time. She began to examine social structures and political visions consistently
from the perspective of women and children and has continued to follow this principle to the present time. The radically unconventional films evolve a new, experimental filmic language and elude simple readings.
