Keine Nudeln für Courbet

| Projection /x/ Reflection
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

A filmmaker dreams of creating a 16mm film about masturbation—guided by her grandmother’s tried-and-true recipe. But as she works on the project, an uncomfortable feeling creeps in: her subconscious is permeated by outdated gender roles and the rigid male gaze that has dominated art for far too long. Determined to question this influence, she seeks dialogue with her friends, discussing the pressure exerted by art history and family expectations on her work. Burning questions arise: How much does the past shape our actions? What do her family members think of her bold vision, and how can she bring her dream to the screen authentically without falling into the traps of objectifying female characters? As she progresses with her film production, she becomes increasingly aware of how deeply rooted societal stereotypes of women as providers of pleasure are.
