Backlash: Misogyny in the Digital Age (2022) / Directors: Lea Clermont-Dion, Guylaine Maroist / Length: 80 min. / Language: Italian, French, English / Subtitles: English / Entrance: FREE
Marking the International Women’s Day, we will screen the film “BACKLASH: MISOGYNY IN THE DIGITAL AGE” featuring four women across two different continents who decided to challenge misogynistic hate.
Ambassadors of Germany and the EU, H.E. Jörn Rohde and H.E. Tomas Szunyog, the Head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, Ambassador Michael Davenport, and H.E. President of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani will deliver introductory remarks.
The film sheds lights on hatred towards women and online misogyny. This Canadian documentary feature follows four women across two different continents: Laura Boldrini, former President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies; Kiah Morris, former Democratic representative; French actor and YouTuber Marion Séclin; and Laurence Gratton, a school teacher from Montréal. After being subjected to sexist insults, threats of rape and death, the four women no longer accept the misogynistic hate and decide to challenge the online platforms, the state and the perpetrators themselves.
