Where are the women? In our public and private spaces? In our reflections and our ways of arranging and perceiving our daily lives? Where are the women in our modern society that is made by men for men, where women and marginalized groups must adapt and create space for their specific needs and desires which are by deduction, other?

— "Delphine et Carole insoumuses", 2021, directed by Callisto McNulty, 69 min.
— A documentary followed by a conversation on women in arts with feminist activist Fjolla Muçaj. How do they radically create their own spaces in the field?
We close the program with Callisto McNulty's "Delphine et Carole insoumuses", a 2018 documentary film showing how in the mid-1970s, directors Delphine Seyrig and Carole Roussopoulos began making videos devised as political interventions to champion the struggle of women. Delphine and Carole retraces this collaboration by mixing video images filmed by the two directors, interviews, and archival material. This documentary not only introduces and contextualizes the under-known but crucial creative and political contributions made by two immensely talented women in the field of video, but most essentially the film is also inspiration for the power of cinema, and particularly how cheap, mobile and flexible filmmaking—video then, digital now—can be used as an expressive tool for advocacy, documentary and change.
