'Rewind, Remix, Reclaim’, the Goethe-Institut Nairobi and Alliance Francaise de Nairobi are conducting a commemoration festival around the World Conference on Women, held in 1985 in Nairobi, Kenya. Among the participants were German and French filmmakers, including Claudia von Alemann and Françoise Dasques, who made the documentary film “La conférence des femmes. Nairobi 1985”. What female video activists and feminist filmmakers like Les Insoumuses brought up may mostly relate to the European context. However, some aspects of their work, are linked to the problems women in East Africa are facing today. Misogyny and sexism are a driving force in a patriarchal society, which is amongst the topics that we want to tackle within the 10-day festival from 15th – 25th July this year.
