LUX Scotland Presents: Audre Lorde – The Berlin Years, plus shorts 4 September GFT

audre lorde-the berlin years

This programme of experimental films celebrates subversive action.

Sunday 4 September (19.15)

Running time: 2h15m

Dagmar Schulz’s feature- length portrait of Audre Lorde shows the African-American poet galvanising the Afro-German movement and anti-racist feminism. The documentary shows an alternate history of 1980s West German and North Atlantic social movements, rearranging the legacy of feminist filmmaker Helke Sander. Also in this programme, Sander’s short film about destitution and direct action unpicks narratives of social change and debates about what a feminist looks like, while in the final short Boudry/Lorenz examine the capacity for resistance in the presence of a ‘visible’ enemy.

Curated by Phoebe Amis.

Director Various, UK 2016, 2h15m, N/C 15+
