Director Allie Light also relates of her depression and her time in a psychiatric institution.<br \/>\nAfter being raped, R.B. dropped out and became homeless. Hannah, a manic-depressive, firmly believes that she \u2013 along with Bob Dylan \u2013 has been chosen to save the world. Dee Dee methodically records everything taught by the Catholic Church that was good for her &#8230; and that drove her to self-mutilation. Mairi formed 25 different personalities as their result of the abuse she was made to suffer. Karen has been the victim of racism and marginalisation all her life.<br \/>\nAs the camera whirs, the women open up: they talk with humour and with passion. There are no talking-head experts to classify and relativise things. By falling back on home videos, archive material and re-enactments, Allie Light draws a complex and moving portrait of women whose mental illness goes hand in hand with inspiring energy and creativity.<br \/>\nR.B. makes music, Hannah is an artist, Dee Dee became lesbian and studied homeopathy. Mairi has reached a point where she no longer needs to split off into further personalities. Yet, yet. Not all the protagonists succeed. At the end of the film, we discover that shortly after her interview Karen was raped and murdered.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Awards for \u203aDialogues with Madwomen\u2039<\/strong><br \/>\nEmmy Award for Outstanding Interview Program, Academy of Television Arts &amp; Sciences 1995 | Freedom of Expression Award, Sundance Film Festival 1994 | Award Winner, HeSCA Media Awards 1994 | Special Jury Award, National Educational Film and Video, 1994<\/p>\n<p>Film programme An Excess of Order<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13544,"template":"","movie_year":[576],"movie_genre":[85],"movie_cat":[491],"festival":[607],"class_list":["post-13565","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-576","movie_genre-documentary-en","movie_cat-focus-en-2013","festival-2013-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Dialogues with Madwomen - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/dialogues-with-madwomen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Dialogues with Madwomen - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u00bbI was always so afraid that someone would ask me where I was when JFK was shot and I would [...]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/dialogues-with-madwomen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IFFF.Dortmund.Koeln\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-06-22T15:13:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IFFF2013_DialoguesWithMadwomen_4-3_website.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"280\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"210\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@frauenfilmfest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/dialogues-with-madwomen\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/dialogues-with-madwomen\\\/\",\"name\":\"Dialogues with Madwomen - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/dialogues-with-madwomen\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/dialogues-with-madwomen\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/01\\\/IFFF2013_DialoguesWithMadwomen_4-3_website.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-01-29T18:48:40+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-06-22T15:13:26+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/dialogues-with-madwomen\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/dialogues-with-madwomen\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/dialogues-with-madwomen\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/01\\\/IFFF2013_DialoguesWithMadwomen_4-3_website.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/01\\\/IFFF2013_DialoguesWithMadwomen_4-3_website.jpg\",\"width\":280,\"height\":210,\"caption\":\"Film still from Dialogues with Madwomen.
