Join us for a Cinema Politica Groningen documentary screening: Our Bodies are Your Battlefield.

In an Argentina divided between a deep conservatism and an unprecedented momentum in feminism, the film delves into the political journey and intimate lives of Claudia and Violeta. The fight they lead with their comrades against patriarchal violence is visceral and embodied. Convinced of their role at the center of an ongoing revolution that intersects with so many struggles, and in defiance of the old world, they dedicate their energy to invent a new present, to love and stay alive.

About Cinema Politica:
Cinema Politica is a non-profit media arts organization dedicated to supporting the work of independent, political filmmakers. CP is headquartered in Canada with local chapters that organise screenings all around the world. The Faculty of Arts is proud to host the Cinema Politica Groningen chapter.

Cinema Politica offers films on a wide variety of themes: Human rights, politics, globalisation, art, activism, refugee/migrants, war/conflict, social movements and many more.

At the Faculty of Arts, we will choose titles that have a relation to the research being done at our faculty in particular. All of the documentaries are in English or include English subtitles. Our screenings are free and open to all. After each film, we host a lively discussion with experts from the Faculty of Arts and beyond, followed by Q&A for audience questions.

The Cinema Politica series is made possible by the Public Events Programme from the Faculty of Arts. For this particular screening we teamed up with USVA and the Centre of expertise for the Study of LGBTQIA+ Issues from the University of Groningen.
