MÄNNER ZEIGEN FILME & FRAUEN IHRE BRÜSTE

MEN SHOW MOVIES & WOMEN THEIR BREASTS
by Isabell Suba
Country: Germany
Year: 2013
Duration: 83'


The young German director Isabell Šuba is enthusiastic: one of her shorts will be screened at the 65th Cannes Film Festival. She goes there with David, her producer, but things immediately start going wrong: their apartment has been rented to other festival guests, with whom they’ll have to come to terms. Even her relationship with David isn’t the easiest: his chauvinistic, reactionary behavior soon starts to get on Isabell’s nerves, but she has to put up with him since they are both searching for investors for future projects. But the unpleasant feeling she’s getting is that there is no room for women in the world of movies.

Declaration

film director

“Our film was made in May 2012 during the 65th Cannes Film Festival where I was invited to the short film section by Germanfilms for my short film Chica XX Mujer. However, my enthusiasm for being invited to one of the most prestigious and important film festivals in the world was quickly dampened when I heard that not a single film in the competition had been directed by a woman.”
