Yet again, such a good read. I just left the film festival Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna, where the main focus of the program is film restauration. I saw so many movies, in which especially women experience violence or are touched without consent. It made me angry, because even if the movies are from a different time, I wondered: Do we still need to display such violence under the cover of art?
I don’t care how well the restauration or the camera perspectives were, because the celebration of these things feels like also celebrating the violence depicted.
Long story short, the timing of me reading about Gabrielle Goliath’s work couldn’t be better. It got me really curious and I hope some research will lead to maybe being able to see clips of her videos and see how she uses the medium of film to deal with violence against people. That being said, thanks for describing it so well, I already got a good insight without seeing the work myself.

Thanks for your thoughts! Guess you'll have to come to Venice see her work at the Biennale in that case ;)
