Women Filmmakers from Berlin

"How do women, feminists, LGBTs oppose neoliberal hegemonies,
power and the war logic? Which part does the struggle against gender
hierarchies and patriarchal structures take in this? Which concepts and
ideas empower us? Which visions do we have for living together?"

The Women Videoletters – A Second Text on War came up at a meeting
of women video activists from India, Germany, Mexico and Switzerland in
October 2001 in Berlin as a feminist answer to the media reporting after
September 11th. The second edition of the Women Videoletters in
January 2004 was extended by a critical stance towards globalization
in general. The Women Videoletters were shown at political actions,
festivals and other events, e.g. at the World Social Forum in Mumbai
in January 2005.

They are a group of women video activists (at present three women
with German, Iranian and Russian backgrounds which consider themselves
as a part of the feminist movements without being affiliated to any official
party or institution) coordinating the project from Berlin and currently
working on the third edition of the Women Videoletters.
