26 November: »Life Is Not a Competition, But I’m Winning« at »ifs-Begegnung« Gender & Diversity with Director Julia Fuhr Mann
Screening of award-winning graduation film Life Is Not a Competition, But I’m Winning by Julia Fuhr Mann.
There is hardly any other area of society where the binary gender system is upheld as much as in sport. rans* marathon runner Amanda Reiter from Lenggries in Bavaria and Ugandan 800-metre runner Annet Negesa, along with many other athletes, are at the centre of this story about restrictive gender concepts in competitive sport and the attempt to break free of them. Life Is Not a Competition, But I’m Winning is a visually stunning statement about breaking free from the norms of binary thinking.
Following the screening, there will be a discussion with director Julia Fuhr Mann, moderated by Dr. Maxa Zoller (Artistic Director, IFFF Dortmund+Köln).
