LADYFEST_Roma – 21_22_23_24 maggio ‘09
Il primo Ladyfest e’ stato organizzato ad Olympia nel 2000. Da allora si sono susseguiti centinaia di Ladyfest in tutto il mondo: una rete internazionale il cui nucleo concettuale condiviso è la promozione dell’arte indipendente, la decostruzione di modelli imposti e restrittivi, la rivalutazione del corpo e della sessualità come sperimentazione nelle sue infinite forme, in una prospettiva queer, antirazzista, transgender e femminista.

Il Ladyfest romano è un festival “do it yourself” e no-profit che si svolgerà in maniera itinerante con workshop, mostre, concerti, djset, teatro, proiezioni video, installazioni e merchandising di autoproduzioni.

15,000 women marched through New York City in 1908 demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights.

Skilfully combining interviews, advertisements, animation and TV, Alina Marazzi’s
We Want Roses Too aims to portray the deep change brought on by the sexual revolution and the feminist movement in Italy during the 1960s and 1970s at The Times BFI 51st London Film Festival.

The film looks again at recent events from a female point of view, through the first-hand accounts provided by the diaries of three women. Anita, Teresa and Valentina come from different Italian regions and different social backgrounds, but share the same feelings: they no longer feel part of a society based on the patriarchal family, on the power of “husbands” and on the supremacy of males, which requires them to be efficient mothers, obedient wives and virtuous daughters.
