Filmpremiere: "NO MERCY" mit Regiegespräch

In the organizer's words:

Munich premiere of the documentary film "No Mercy" by Isa Willinger.

In attendance and followed by a discussion with the director.

"No Mercy" is a cinematic liberation.

An energetic, wild trip through the revolutionary filmmaking of women - direct, sensual, uncomfortable and full of power.

Films show how we live. "No Mercy" goes right to the heart of the questions that are burning today: Where do we really stand in terms of power, gender and freedom - in cinema as in life?

For her radical stocktaking, filmmaker Isa Willinger brings together some of the most important female* directors of our time: With Céline Sciamma, Alice Diop, Joey Soloway, Nina Menkes, Valie Export, Catherine Breillat and Virginie Despentes, pioneering female* filmmakers enter into a shared, intimate dialog for the first time - about their art, their anger, their vulnerability and the images that shape our world. Inspired by an observation by director Kira Muratova that women actually make the tougher films, they talk about sex and violence, humiliation and revenge, trauma and lust, tenderness and poetics and the much-discussed female gaze.

Never before have female directors* been seen so openly and closely on screen. "No Mercy" is relentlessly honest, surprisingly humorous, provocative and challenging - and above all a great cinematic experience.

A movie that inspires and shakes things up. A manifesto for a new way of seeing.
