Feminine

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the 8th Feminale in October 1996

The Feminale was the first women’s film festival in Germany and was founded in 1983 by a group of film students. In 1984 they organized the “1. Kölner FrauenFilmFest - Feminale ”. In 2006 the Feminale merged with femme totale and has since taken place as the International Women's Film Festival Dortmund / Cologne .

history

The first festival edition of Feminale took place in 1984. It was organized by eight film studies students at the University of Cologne. At that time, members of the group were Esther Baron, Angelika Dötig, Karin Jurschick, Elke Kimmlinger, Katja Mildenberger, Biddy Pastor, Dagmar Röper and Astrid Völker. The starting point of her work was the finding that films by women were shown less often in the cinema and at festivals. They wanted to create a platform for this. As a result, the only requirement for submission was that it had to be works by women - format, genre or topic did not matter.

The first issues of Feminale were conceived as a retrospective of films and videos by women from the region. In 1986 films from Austria and Switzerland were also included in the program. In 1988 the program opened to submissions from other European countries such as Spain and Great Britain. The Feminale thus took the step towards an international festival, which was later expressed in sections such as the “European Program” or the “Country Program”.

Since the 1990s, the content and political aspects of the films shown - and with it the question of “feminist film” - have come to the fore more programmatically.
