Med stöd av IKEA Ikano bank Torsdag 22 november kl. 19.00 BUDDA FÖLL AV SKAM Regi: Hana Makhmalbaf (Afghanistan) Vid foten av de av talibanerna bortsprängda Buddhastatyerna i Afghanistan kämpar tusentals familjer för sin överlevnad. Baktay är en sex-årig flicka som bor med sin mamma och lillebror i en av grottorna. I den närmaste grannfamiljen bor en pojke i samma ålder som varje dag plockar ihop skrivbok och penna och går till skolan. Baktay vill så gärna gå i skolan hon också, men hon har lovat att passa sin lillebror och dessutom har hon varken papper eller penna. Men Baktay har bestämt sig och tänker inte låta sig stoppas. Lillebror kan man binda fast och mammans läppstift blir en bra penna. Det visar sig inte vara fullt så enkelt och vägen till skolan är full av hinder. När hon träffar på ett gäng killar tror hon att de bara vill leka, men leken heter "talibaner och amerikaner" och när hon släpas in i en grotta med en påse över huvudet börjar Baktay undra om hon någonsin kommer att komma till skolan? Källa: www.filmcentrum.se BUDDHA COLLAPSED OUT OF SHAME Baktay is just six years old and yet is left in charge of the family baby while mum heads off to work/carry out her chores. A conversation with the little boy who lives in the cave next door – their homes are carved into the rock face in the shadow of where the buddhas stood – leads her to become determined to go to school where she can learn some “funny stories”. Källa: Eye For Film, www.eyeforfilm.co.uk Längd: 81 minuter Rek. från ålder: 13 år Fredag 23 november kl. 19.00 SISTERS IN LAW Regi: Kim Longinotto och Florence Ayisi (Kamerun) Två starka kvinnor i maktposition håller nämligen på att förändra samhället och kvinnosynen med hjälp av lagen. Den ena är domare och den andra är åklagare. Om dessa två och människorna de möter i sina jobb handlar den starkt upplyftande filmen Sisters in law. En av personerna vi får möta är Manka, 6 år. Hon har rymt hemifrån och tagit sig till åklagaren. Med ärr över hela kroppen vittnar hon om en brutal misshandel. Åklagaren har själv ett barn i samma ålder och blir förskräckt när hon ser Mankas skador på kroppen. "Jag slår henne bara när jag är arg", försöker fastern försvara sig med. Våldtäkter och hustrumisshandel är exempel på fall som tidigare inte särskilt ofta nått detta rättsystem. Och ännu mer sällan med en fällande dom som resultat. Samhället är med stormsteg in i en ny tid. En modernare tid där kvinnor respekteras mer. Källa: Peo Sandholm, www.bio.nu In the little town of Kumba, Cameroon, there have been no convictions in spousal abuse cases for 17 years. But two women determined to change their community are making progress that could change their country. This fascinating, often hilarious doc follows the work of State Prosecutor Vera Ngassa and Court President Beatrice Ntuba as they help women fight often-difficult cases of abuse, despite pressures from family and their community to remain silent. Six-year-old Manka is covered in scars and has run away from an abusive aunt, Amina is seeking a divorce to put an end to brutal beatings by her husband, the pre-teen Sonita has daringly accused her neighbor of rape.

A look at one year in the life of four babies from around the world, from Mongolia to Namibia to San Francisco to Tokyo. Källa: IMDb, www.imdb.com Längd: 79 min Dokumentär/ documentary .

Longinotto’s award-winning films include the 2005 Emmy-nominated film THE DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET, which premiered in the U.S. at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, DIVORCE IRANIAN STYLE, DREAM GIRLS and SHINJUKU BOYS, among others. SISTERS IN LAW is a totally fascinating, often hilarious look at the work of one small courthouse in Cameroon. The tough-minded state prosecutor Vera Ngassa and court president Beatrice Ntuba are helping women in their Muslim village find the courage to fight often-difficult cases of abuse, despite pressures from family and their community to remain silent. With fierce compassion, they dispense wisdom, wisecracks and justice in fair measure—handing down stiff sentences to those convicted. A cross between Judge Judy and The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, SISTERS IN LAW has audiences cheering when justice is served. In signature style, Longinotto’s unobtrusive camera captures an abundance of colorful characters, allowing their powerful stories to unfold effortlessly without need for narration. Both insightful and uplifting, SISTERS IN LAW presents a rare strong and positive view of African women—and captures the emerging spirit of courage, hope and possibility for change.

In his serious treatment of the live television feed, however, Padilha treads upon new ground in the denaturalization of the mediatized spaces that are themselves effects of the same rhythms of neoliberalism and globalization. The gift he offers is a multilayered vision of a future to come, democracy to come, justice. Its vehicle is a vigilant and clear assessment of the living present. Notes 1.
