A Year of Sisterhood: Interview with Fitt 4 Fight & Queer Feminist March, Stockholm
|
Åsa Elzén, Sonia Hedstrand
|
2005
|
Sweden / 11 mins Originally a nine hours long archival film on the third wave of feminism in Stockholm during one year 2003-2004. It is a document of demonstrations, parties, direct actions and lectures. A year of Sisterhood is an archive, a pool of knowledge and a portrait of its time. The artists’ idea was to write history (her-story) from their own perspective. The Queer Feminist Marches were held 2002-2003 to raise radical issues within the LGBTQ movement. In 2003 Fredrik Reinfeldt – who the previous year voted against same-sex adoption rights and was soon to be head of the conservative party – was inaugural speaker at Stockholm Pride.
