Children or no Children

Conflict of pregnancy in German film

The film series invites us to trace the social developments surrounding bodily self-determination. The title of the series refers to the virulent slogan of the New Women's Movement, "whether children or none, we decide alone", and takes up the demand for reproductive self-determination. In recurring situations, we become aware of the different argumentation patterns and predicaments, also dependent on the form of the state, to which those affected find themselves exposed. Thus, they not only get into legal and ethical conflicts, but usually find themselves in economic as well as social predicaments.

Roads not Taken

Alternative Historical Tales in Cinema

The appeal of alternative historical narratives lies in being able to engage with history and its worlds of possibility, and to communicate through a shared knowledge: a potential that is all the more important in times when there is talk of post-facticity. Roads Not Taken. Alternative historical narratives in film extends the exhibition Roads not Taken. Or: It Could Have Been Different, with films that test alternative historical scenarios.
