We present: Alice Schwarzer, the latest work by Sabine Derflinger. The Austrian director will also be present at the screening. A special treat: We are showing the 136-minute festival version of the film!

Francophile, feminist, genuine Ruhrpott child: in her new film, Austrian director Sabine Derflinger focuses on the life of the Cologne-based editor of the magazine Emma, Alice Schwarzer. The film follows Schwarzer’s life themes and shows how the discourse around the women’s movement in Germany and France (MLF, Mouvement de la Liberation de la Femme), abortion, prostitution and political Islam – to name just a few – has changed over the last fifty years. The sensitive montage combines archival footage, documentary footage and private recordings in such a way that, despite the abundance of topics, the contemporary historical contexts seem to be cast in one piece and effortlessly connect to today. Findings from the television archives once again remind us of the lively media appearances of the eloquent protagonist, who cleverly knows how to resist the casual everyday sexism of her interlocutors. What has changed and how? What hasn’t? These are the questions Derflinger asks (us) in her latest, engaging film production.
