An evening about love, the repression and silence surrounding sexuality in the 1950s, hierarchies in marriage, the significance of the birth control pill, the women's movement, the shock of AIDS, the staging of weddings, and much more.
Käthe Kratz reads from her newly published personal chronicle „Schwindelfrei“. In it, she tells both a private and a collective history and makes the women's movement slogan „Das Private ist politisch“ tangible. Afterwards, excerpts from Das 10. Jahr (1995, screenplay and direction: Käthe Kratz) will be screened.
To conclude, Maria Bill sings songs by Édith Piaf and Jacques Brel that tell of devoted love. With Krzysztof Dobrek (accordion) and Michael Hornek (piano).Käthe Kratz, born in Salzburg, is a filmmaker and author. As the first woman, she studied directing at the Filmakademie Wien and became Austria's first director of TV feature films.
