12th discussion organised by the IFFF Dortmund+Köln on gender equity and the status of women in the film industry on the occasion of the Berlin International Film Festival.

Women have been working in front of and behind the camera since 1896, many have disappeared from film history. The film archive is essential for film festivals – it has the power to change the past, present and future of women’s cinema. However, a critical approach to the feminist archive is absolutely vital. How to deal with absence in the archive: with women, LGBTIQ+, People of Color? How do we frame historical films with sexist and racist images, scripts, ideologies? And in what way do we take responsibility for our own entanglements in unbalanced power relations, in particular when working in institutional and national archives? What role do accidental archivism and private collections play? How do we narrate the archive so that the past leads to us?

Thank you for your interest in attending the »Framing the Archive - A Past that Lead to Us«. Unfortunately the event is fully booked.
