Filmatopia: burn it down to
set things right
The Filmatopia includes short films from this year’s festival programs: the eco-feminist “Who is Afraid of True Names?”, which reveals the interconnections between the environmental movement, feminism, and critique of colonialism; the queer camp “Unequal! Different! Angry!” program, which criticizes social inequalities through grotesque, brilliant glamour and parody; “Counter-Memories: Breaking the Silence», which touches on the topics of remembering and forgetting and how feminism questions the dominant politics of memory.
