The Notes of Anna Azzori / A Mirror that Travels through Time
Editor
Shot from 1972-75, Anna observed a young drug addict expecting a child. Ruhm’s essay film draws on this previous work and asks about the place of women in a world that was full of discrimination back in the 70s and remains so today.

My_Never_Ending_Burial_Plot
Director
Crash Site / My_Never_Ending_Burial_Plot is the sixth episode in the serial-based project X Characters, which revolves around the attempt to update the identities of iconic female film characters from modern cinema to produce contemporary versions of them. The project is based on two coordinates. It is based on the character of Hari in Andrej Tarkovsky's film Solaris, who is now the central figure (after Nana from Jean-Luc Godard's Vivre sa Vie in X NaNa / Subroutine, and Giuliana from Il Deserto Rosso in X Love Scenes); at the same time Crash Site / My_Never_Ending_Burial_Plot represents an attempt to close the cycle of X Characters by putting a symbolic end to the lives (more accurately, the afterlife) of the film characters concerned. Whether or not this attempt is successful remains, for the time being, an open question.

E’ a questo punto che nasce il bisogno di fare storia
Director
Our flm focuses on Italian author, art critic and feminist Carla Lonzi (1931–1982), founder of the frst Roman feminist group Rivolta Femminile in 1972, and her role in the international feminist revolt of the 70s/80s. It drafts the notion of new feminist historiographies by tracing histories unwritten and by opening to date uncharted archives: at the core of its narrative resides Lonzi’s unfnished project on Les Précieuses, a French proto-feminist group active in the 17th century. It is this project our flm wants to revisit in an attempt to complete it in a speculative manner, thereby connecting a remote part of the feminist history with possible feminist futures. Adjacently, a tentative lineage in feminist thought towards the present is mapped through a re staging of an iconic photographic volume titled La strada più lunga by feminist photographer Maria Grazia Chinese from 1975 in the garden of the Casa Internazionale delle Donne in Rome.
