The feminist movement is the most successful social movement of the 20th century and has reached all levels of society. The documentary film »Feminism WTF« (What the Fuck) breaks down the variety of topics that will be negotiated under the term feminism in 2023. Experts from the political and social sciences, masculinity studies, gender, queer and trans studies explore the question of how we can all contribute to breaking down power and dependency relations in order to become a society of the many in solidarity. This involves many current debates: Why do we always talk about only two genders? Why do women* have to do most of the unpaid housework and childcare? Why are capitalism and feminism a contradiction in terms? What does European colonialism have to do with today’s ideas of sexual freedom and racist stereotypes? Why do we need feminism to save the climate? And why are so few men actually committed to feminism?

We are presenting the film in the context of the »International Day against Violence against Women« (25 November 2024) in cooperation with the Dortmund Equal Opportunities Office. 

The subsequent discussion with activist Emilene Wopana Mudimu will be moderated by our festival director Maxa Zoller.
