CRA’P collaborations 2014
Thursday 26th of June at 19:30
Cultural Center La Marineta – Mollet del Vallès
CRA’P presents “CINEMAS OF AFGHANISTAN: stories of gender and society”. Lecture by Montse Romaní in ‘Visual Marineta’ Program.
West reproduces often negative social imageries on Afghanistan, and with regard to women especially victimizes the different realities and living situations. In opposition to this constructed perception, we will reflect on the role of cinema as a means to vindicate the public and political role of women in Afghanistan, bearing in mind that the Afghan woman stands behind the camera for the first time in 2001.
