Premiera kratkega filma je del projekta, ki raziskuje, kaj pomeni podedovati žensko telo v družini, ki jo oblikujejo tišina, družbene ideologije in potlačena žalost. Avtorica tematizira »avstro-ogrsko dediščino molka« – kulturo, v kateri se o boleznih, travmah in neuspehih ni govorilo, temveč se jih je skrivalo. Skozi primer svoje družine – od babice, ki je raka preživela v tišini, do matere Brede, katere življenje so krojile prisilne odločitve in zamolčani splavi – režiserka razgrinja medgeneracijske rane. Osrednji motiv je lastna izkušnja z zdravstvenimi težavami (posledice hormonske kontracepcije in diagnoza raka dojke), ki avtorico postavi v vlogo objekta lastne preiskave.
S filmom avtorica posredno vzpostavi dialog z Audre Lorde, ki je umrla po 14-letnem boju z rakom dojke. Ob diagnozi je Lorde še bolj izostrila prepričanje, da je treba izrekati lastno resnico, ki je ključna za svobodo in preživetje, saj nas »tišina ne bo zaščitila«. Delo Dnevniki raka Audre Lorde je neposredno in iskreno, olupljeno tabujev soočanja z rakom, ki priča o globoki povezanosti s telesom in življenjski sili, ki vztraja kljub bolezni in bolečemu soočenju z lastno umrljivostjo.
Dagmar Schultz: Audre Lorde – Berlinska leta 1984–1992, Nemčija, 2012, 78 min
dokumentarni film
Film je v nemškem in angleškem jeziku z angleškimi in slovenskimi podnapisi.
Film Dagmar Schultz skozi režiserkino osebno vez z Audre Lorde pripoveduje poglavje iz življenja te navdihujoče pisateljice, pesnice in borke proti rasizmu, seksizmu, homofobiji in razrednim neenakostim, ko je ta po diagnozi raka dojke pogosto obiskovala Berlin in daljša obdobja vse do svoje smrti leta 1992 tam tudi prebivala. Skozi svoje tamkajšnje aktivistično udejanjanje je spodbudila nastanek prvega črnskega gibanja v Nemčiji, pripadniki te skupnosti so tedaj svojo identiteto prvič začeli javno opredeljevati kot afro-nemško. Hkrati je Lorde bele nemške feministke spodbujala k soočenju z lastnim rasizmom. Zavzemala se je za vključujoč feminizem, ki pravično reprezentira razlike, saj so ravno te vir ustvarjalnosti in politične moči. Film dokumentira pomen neprecenljivega medgeneracijskega prenosa znanj, strategij in deljene ljubezni, ki so ključni za ustvarjanje pravičnejše družbe, dajejo elan aktivizmu ter so vezivno tkivo feministične skupnosti in širših zavezništev. V tem smislu film ni pomemben le kot zgodovinski dokument nastanka protirasističnega gibanja v Nemčiji pred padcem Berlinskega zidu in po njem, ampak je prilika o polnem, velikodušnem, resnicoljubnem in radostnem življenju in delu, ki nas tudi več kot tri desetletja po smrti in daleč onkraj geografskih meja njenega delovanja še vedno bodri in nam daje upanje.

The Joy of Community and the Healing Power of Hope – The Legacy of Audre Lorde
The film will be introduced shortly by Darja Zaviršek, who will reflect on the work of Audre Lorde, a world-renowned feminist writer, poet and activist who fought for the rights of Black people, a lesbian, a mother, and a public intellectual.
Film screenings will be followed by a discussion with the director Dagmar Schultz, hosted by Darja Zaviršek.
Barbara Kapelj: BI-RADS 5, Slovenija, 2026, 10 min, short film
The film will be screened in Slovenian with English subtitles.
The short film première screening is part of a project exploring what it means to inherit a woman’s body within a family shaped by silence, social ideologies, and repressed sadness. The author addresses the »Austro-Hungarian heritage of silence« – a culture in which illnesses, traumas, and failures were not openly discussed, but kept hidden instead. Through the example of her own family – from her grandmother, who suffered from cancer in silence, to her mother Breda, whose life was shaped by forced decisions and clandestine abortions – the director reveals intergenerational wounds. The central motif is the author’s own experience of health issues (the consequences of hormonal contraceptives and a breast cancer diagnosis), which sees her become the object of her own research.
The author engages in an indirect dialogue with Audre Lorde, who ultimately succumbed to breast cancer after a 14-year battle. Upon receiving her diagnosis, Lorde further emphasised her belief that one must speak their truth, as this is crucial for freedom and survival, since »keeping silent won’t protect us.« Her work, The Cancer Journals, is direct and honest, and strips away the taboos surrounding cancer, testifying to a deep connection with the body and a life force that persists despite illness and the troubling confrontation with one’s own mortality.
Dagmar Schultz: Audre Lorde – Berlin Years 1984–1992, Germany, 2012, 78 min, documentary film
The film will be screened in both German and English, with English and Slovenian subtitles.
Dagmar Schultz’s documentary film uses the director’s personal connection with Audre Lorde to recount a chapter in the life of this inspiring writer, poet, and activist against racism, sexism, homophobia, and class inequalities. After her breast cancer diagnosis, Lorde often travelled to Berlin, making several extended visits in the years leading up to her death in 1992. Through her activism, she fostered the formation of Germany’s first Black rights movement, during which time members of the community began to declare their identity as Afro-German. At the same time, Lorde encouraged white German feminists to confront their own racism. She advocated for an inclusive kind of feminism that represents differences in a fair way, as these differences are the source of creativity and political power. The film documents the invaluable intergenerational transfer of knowledge, strategies, and shared love that are crucial for creating a more just society. These elements empower activism and act as the connective tissue of the feminist community, as well as broader alliances. In this sense, the film is an important historical document of the antiracist movement in Germany before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is also a parable of a life and work that continue to encourage and give us hope, even more than three decades after her death and far beyond the geographical borders of her activity.
