Judy Chicago

Este documental dirigido por Johanna Demetrakas (Crazy Wisdom: The Life & Times of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Some Nudity Required) revisita esas fotos, a esas mujeres y esos momentos, y además apunta a nuestra cultura actual que muestra alarmantemente la necesidad de un cambio continuo.

Documental que recorre la evolución del movimiento artístico feminista surgido en Estados Unidos durante la década de 1960. Su directora, Lynn Hershman Leeson fue partícipe activa de este movimiento y ha pasado 42 años documentándolo. A través de entrevistas íntimas, obras de arte provocativas y fragmentos de vídeos raramente vistos hasta ahora, nos acerca al que muchos historiadores e historiadoras consideran el movimiento artístico más significativo de finales del siglo XX.

For five years, feminist artist Judy Chicago worked with a community of four hundred other artists, craftspeople and researchers to create The Dinner Party, a monumental tribute to women of spirit and accomplishment throughout the ages -- women whose names have been banished "right out of history". For over four of those five years, filmmaker Johanna Demetrakas followed the progress of The Dinner Party, recording for posterity the alternately painstaking and exhilarating process of creating this work of unprecedented scale and beauty.

Held in 1972 at 533 N. Mariposa Street, Los Angeles was one of the most important cultural events in the United States: "Womanhouse," a feminist art installation and performance space organized by Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro.
