Hoezo in KINO

Lizzie Borden’s career as a filmmaker was unfortunately not a prolific one, but her three earliest features had major impact, in particular her fiction debut Born in Flames, hailed as a milestone of independent feminist cinema. This mockumentary style film depicts the United States ten years into the future after a bloodless democratic socialist revolution (yes, Borden labeled her film as “science fiction”) that sees the government opposed by different factions of feminist activists and guerillas  stating that gender equality under this new authority has not materialized. Borden directed, co-wrote, co-shot and produced this political vision and the result is thought provoking, unique and as relevant as forty-two years ago. English language without subtitles.
