Shorts: Dear Mommy

Event Information

The mother, a role inevitable for women on screen. Sometimes loving and nurturing, sometimes evil, sometimes problematic and often more of a supporting role without a name, whose only function is to be the mother of the main characters, often our mothers are not credited enough. A mother is also a symbol of home, of heritage and a symbol of all life in form of Mother Earth. This program is dedicated to the women* before us, mothers, matriarchs and grandmothers. The main film of the program, Muttererde / In Search of My Mother’s Garden is a beautiful piece that gives voice to Black femmes and their matriarchs.
