film: BORN IN FLAMES
Waar: Filmhuis Cavia, Van Hallstraat 52-I, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Wanneer: 24/11/2017 - 20:30
On Friday the 24th Filmhuis Cavia will show the classic documentary-style feminist science fiction film Born in Flames, which explores racism, classism, sexism and heterosexism in an alternative United States socialist democracy.
Lizzie Borden’s sophisticated feminist science fiction film Born in Flames feels like a strange half-remembered remix of our present de-railed times. Themes of gender, race & class play out in a future America, ten years after a socialist revolution, where repressed groups continue to be exploited by the system. Here the Women’s Army promises to bring revolution to the revolution. Told through an innovative mix of archival footage, mockumentary components, direct to camera address, and set against with a luscious post-punk soundtrack.
[Lizzie Borden | 1983 | USA | 80' ]
