FORUM 02 Lecture: What can we learn from the Radical History of Feminist Film Collectives? with Rachel Pronger (Invisible Women Collective)

From the late 1960s up into the present day, female collectives have been radically rethinking cinema all around the world: as an inclusive, interconnected, political and experimental undertaking. They have shared resources, developed their own distribution channels and alternative visions. Invisible Women presents this history in the scope of an illustrated talk, accompanied by exchange and discussion. The event details how films and collectives continue to inspire today, how they can expand practice and perspectives and how we can benefit from this history as filmmakers and curators.
