Girls* Riot Workshop
How do teenager girls wish to be represented in film? What moves them and what issues do they care about? The Girls* Riot workshop offers a confidential, safe framework in which young women can come together to exchange ideas and experiences. With the inspiring mentors Mateja Meded and Valerie Schönian the 15-19 year old participants spent a week talking about topics such as self-perception, representation, harassment, the band Tic Tac Toe, women's rights (also in the GDR) and solidarity among women. By the end of the week, the participants had curated their program by drawing from a pool of festival submissions and carefully considered the order in which they should be shown. A training session in presentation and moderation with coach and speaker Brenda Jorde before the festival equips the Girls* Riot curators with the skill and confidence to present their program during its festival premiere and lead an audience discussion to reflect on the impact of the films collectively.
