14th Film Festival
Women´s Worlds
November 19-26, 2014, in Tuebingen, Germany
A woman in her fifties feels the need of
engaging in a social project and begins to rehearse Schiller’s play Wilhelm
Tell with a group of asylum seekers (Swiss Heroes). Athletic women
volleyball players (66-98 years old) are looking for a worthy opponent for
their first tournament after 30 years of training (The Optimists). In
Kirgystan, Italy and Columbia, courageous women fight for their rights and
become activists, against trucks, international corporations or patriarchal
structures of violence. Their stories are the focus of "Fighters
for Social Rights". Plus, a quiet young woman with a secret love dares
to take a step toward independence. (Kertu. Love is Blind). The Women’s
Worlds Film Festival brings 35 feature films and documentaries as well as two
short film programs from 35 countries to cast deeper insight into women’s lives
all over the world, accompanied by fascinating guests.
A special focus is a
look at "Women in Precarious Working Conditions": in front of our
door as cleaning ladies who very suddenly lose their jobs, in global
connections such as in a textile factory in Turkey, where a single mother must
accept horrible work conditions, or in the difficult life circumstances of
women from Moldavia, who work illegally in Western Europe as cleaning women and
caregivers. All oft them are searching for a dignified way out of their
dilemmas.
