Part 1: The Outside – Stagnation in Lockstep
They were self-confident, radical, and subversive: female filmmakers from the GDR and Hungary grappled with social ills prior to 1989, unflinchingly documenting both themselves and their surroundings. Their works stand as artistic testaments to resistance, self-assertion, and the quest for spaces of freedom.
