Film in Handbag Format

This week in Frankfurt, a workshop organized by the Kinothek Asta Nielsen on women amateur filmmakers.

The Kinothek Asta Nielsen would like to bring into being a Frankfurt network that would be devoted to the history and future of the cine film and would draw attention both to women film makers and to the history of women and of the gender relations documented in the home movie.
