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?

— "Je ne suis pas un homme facile" ("I am not an easy man"), 2018, directed by Eléonore Pourriat, 98 min.
— An instructive comedy followed by a conversation with feminist activists Trina Binaku dhe Fjolla Muçaj on how public spaces create and reinforce stereotypes, influencing our sexist behaviors.
We continue the program with Eléonore Pourriat's "Je ne suis pas un homme facile" ("I am not an easy man"), starring Vincent Elbaz as a chauvinist (Damien) who ends up in a parallel universe where stereotypical gender roles are reversed. Damien feels confused: now that he experiences sexism he struggles to find his place in this foreign new world. He meets and seduces Alexandra, an influential novelist who is herself a chauvinist. “I Am Not an Easy Man” is an over-reaching satire that gets at the horrors women face in a world where they don’t have equality or the entitled initiative to succeed; it suggests God help us if the shoe is ever on the other foot.
