GALLANT
GIRLS
(DIE
RITTERINNEN)
Harvard Exit Theatre
Tuesday, October 21
7:15pm
During
the late 1980s a group of passionate, radical women in Berlin formed
an all-female anarchist collective to fight against patriarchal
corporate domination, with the full intention of hanging the world.
Filmmaker Barbara Teufel provides a first-hand account of her experience
as one of the female knights with an inspiring and sexy
narrative recreating these womens lives in the volatile Kreuzberg
district of West Berlin. Interspersed are interviews with the original
seven activists some twenty years later, and actual media footage
from the time, just before the wall came down, when there were mass
protests against the IMF and the WTO. Proving that the personal
is political, GALLANT GIRLS shows the power and idealism of young
women reveling in sexual freedom, who share a determination to make
the world a better place.
