Part 2: Inside – Dissolution of boundaries within boundaries
They were self-confident, radical, and subversive: before 1989, female filmmakers from the GDR and Hungary grappled with social ills and unflinchingly documented both themselves and their surroundings. Their works stand as artistic testaments to resistance, self-assertion, and the quest for spaces of freedom.
