"I feel like a pupil in the changing of light. I widen and narrow incessantly. I know no rigidness, no indifference,” writes the Italian feminist writer and art critic Carla Lonzi in 1978. Please join us this Wednesday at FIDMarseille for the world premiere of Constanze Ruhm's new feature film "È a questo punto che nasce il bisogno di fare storia", for cinema of dark shards that hold light, of no indifference in the face of violence and oppression, and of renewed approaches to feminist historiography. Constanze Ruhm writes in 2023: "The tear that Lonzi sheds in her lost film turns into an optical device that sharpens her eye. A woman’s gaze on history rendered more acute by a tear now lets the images of that history, images defined by the absence of women, come to the fore in liberating yet also dismaying clarity. Later on, she averts her eye from it (“one must leave men to their own devices”) and turns her attention to another history, other images: “È a questo punto che nasce il bisogno di fare storia.” It is at this point that the desire to write history arises, a history of women, to find the images for it in the archives, the historical documents, and the present and, if need be, to invent them." Co-production of Bathazara Films and Stenar Projects.
