≪8mm≫
Daniela Prado Sarasua / super-8 / 5min. 50sec. / 2024 / Chile

In a country like Chile where abortion is illegal, this story is also a slogan of struggle. A flag that finds refuge in a mass of women demanding basic rights. A woman who wanders between the mass and the internal and who represents one of the thousands of stories within the crowd. 8MM is not only the recording format of this film, it is also the relationship between this, the march that the protagonist attends and the size of the embryo she carries in her body.

Immersed in an 8M feminist march, a woman assimilates unexpected news. Amid the effervescent collectivity, she will seek to define her future. An intimate story filmed in s8mm representing one of the thousands of stories within the crowd.

≪getty abortions≫
Franzis Kabisch / digital / 21min. 45sec. / 2023 / Germany, Austria

What do abortions look like? What kind of images shape our view on them? And where do these images come from? The desktop essay “getty abortions” examines how German and Austrian media illustrate the topic of abortion, browsing through stock photos, teen magazines and documents of a real abortion experience. It jumps from the early 2000s to the late 19th century, seeks out feminist knowledge and chats with fictional characters. But one question remains: Why does no one look into the camera?

≪The Delivery by Male Project≫
Hiroko Okada / digital / 17min. 48sec. / 2022-2019 / Japan

A fictional story of “a man becomes pregnant and gives birth." The idea was based on Okada's own experience of childbirth at the time, including all the things that Japanese women go through in pregnancy and childbirth, the lack of understanding by those around her of the way of life of women who become mothers, child-rearing issues, and the declining birthrate. The setting, in which a man becomes pregnant and gives birth with the help of state-of-the-art medical treatment, transcends gender differences and provides viewers with a broad and multifaceted perspective.

≪Memory of Forgotten War≫
Deann Borshay Liem and Ramsay Liem / digital / 38min. / 2013 / USA

≪Memory of Forgotten War≫ conveys the human costs of military conflict through deeply personal accounts of the Korean War (1950-53) by four Korean-American survivors. Their stories take audiences through the trajectory of the war, from extensive bombing campaigns, to day-to-day struggle for survival and separation from family members across the DMZ. Decades later, each person reunites with relatives in North Korea, conveying beyond words the meaning of family loss. These stories belie the notion that war ends when the guns are silenced and foreshadow the future of countless others displaced by ongoing military conflict today.

The film's personal accounts are interwoven with thoughtful analysis and interpretation of events by historians Bruce Cumings and Ji-Yeon Yuh who situate these stories in a broader historical context. Additional visual materials, including newsreels, U.S. military footage, and archival photographs bring to life the political, social and historical forces that set in motion the tumultuous events of the War and its aftermath.
