Description: The film consists of conversations among women on the first feminist camp. We receive a strong impression of their freshly gained curiosity and openness towards themselves and each other as they try to understand and analyse their lives as women. Through the film runs as an undercurrent that the aftermath of the camp will be new feminist relationships.

Polioepidemien i København

SC 8.1/10 

Year: 1952
Country: Denmark
Section: documentary
Tags: boy, girl, medical check
Description: In 1952, the largest polio epidemic hit Denmark, with Copenhagen in particular being particularly hard hit. Polio mostly affected children and young people, and most were admitted to Blegdamshospitalet in Copenhagen, which treated around 3,000 patients with an average age of 11 years between 24 July and 31 December 1952. 866 patients had paralysis of the arms or legs, and 316 had paralysis of the respiratory muscles and were therefore unable to breathe on their own. Some of them were fitted with an 'iron lung' - what we today call a respirator. Others had a tracheotomy - a hole in the throat leading directly into the windpipe. The film shows a number of technical aids for respiration and the procedure itself is demonstrated.
During the polio epidemic in 1952, Blegdamshospitalet became world-famous for introducing ventilator treatment to combat respiratory paralysis.

Iskwaterpangk

SC 8.1/10 

Year: 2007
Country: Philippines
Section: documentary
Tags: boy, girl, swimming
Description: Filmed in just one day, Squatterpunk follows an eight year old Slum King named Hapon, a cocky would-be gangster with a Travis Bickle haircut, and his rat-bag minions through one of the thousands of shanty towns that spring up between the cracks in the Manila pavements. The manic collage of stunning hand-held black and white images capture kids being kids as they frolic amidst the cardboard and corrugated walls of home-sweet-home and the surrounding debris, human and otherwise. Like watching infants at play at a car crash, it's a mesmerizing, almost seamless collision of social realism and visual poetry. It's a rush to the heart, too, fueled by the mostly improvised punk score by Khavn's outfit The Brockas. The relentless clang-bang drowns the need for dialog or most background noise, leaving a stark impression without comment and, more significantly, without judgment. A vivid and jarring collection of postcards of innocence at the brink of a short and possibly non-existent adolescence, of simple pleasures amidst appalling squalor, of human junk that society ignores in a country the rest of the world prefers to forget.
