Review: De la cuisine au parlement: Édition 2021

Marina Carobbio Guscetti and
Tamara Funiciello – but also through a mind-blowing wealth of archive material (in which some moving activist testimonies), Stéphane Goël shows us what has already been achieved and how much still remains to be done. From the first suffragette protests in the nineteen twenties to the now famous feminist strike in 2019,
De la cuisine au parlément opens up a window onto this battle ground, following in the tracks of women who fought to escape the “kitchen”, the patriarchal and heteronormative society which viewed them only as wives and mothers. The film would have benefitted from pointing out the huge number of feminist battles at play (and the many interpretations of feminism itself), rather than limiting itself to intersectional, materialist and post-modern feminism, not to mention queer theory, yet Goël nonetheless succeeds in tackling a highly sensitive topic, and he does so by turning his gaze to the folds of a society - that of Switzerland - which needs to come to terms with a not-always-dazzling past. Indeed, Switzerland was one of the last countries in the world to grant women the right and the eligibility to vote. Thanks to - or rather, in this instance, on account of - a direct democracy which granted its people (who, until 7 February 1971, were considered an inviolable male body) the right to state their position on Parliamentary decisions or to formulate proposals for constitutional change, “Swiss men” (representative of what R.W. Connel describes as “hegemonic masculinity”) managed to prevent “women” (understood as a social construct) from taking up positions in political spheres. As Stéphane Goël highlights, it took a century of fighting and no fewer than eighty votes to convince “Swiss men” to renounce a share of their privileges. But can we now say that equal rights and gender equality (transcending sterile binarism) are in the bag? The answer to this question is decidedly more complicated than believed, and the ground that has been won increasingly fragile and precarious. Fighting is fast becoming a necessity if we wish to hope for a fairer, freer and, fundamentally, inclusive world (from all points of view!).

Cineuropa: Did the idea for
Atlas come from a real-life event?
NiccolÃ² Castelli: In 2011, there was an attack in Marrakech which left 17 people dead, including three people from my own region, Ticino. It was an event which rocked the tranquillity of our neutral country, where nothing had happened for centuries and where you felt like you were living in a protective bubble. I wanted to work on this loss of virginity, on how we face up to fear of the other, which has taken an even stronger hold following the killings in Paris and Belgium. Then I met the girl whoâd survived the actual attack; she spoke a lot about the trauma sheâd suffered post-event and I realised I was interested in telling the story from her point of view, portraying her own return to life. We began developing the film in 2013. In terms of the later versions of the script, I wrote one last draft in Belgium with

Review: Neighbours

Mano Khalil is making his return to the festival to present
Neighbours in a world premiere. And once again, he is turning his attention towards his native land and the conflict exhausting it, this time through the gaze of a carefree child.
(The article continues below - Commercial information)
Both simple and cruel,
Neighbours’ story homes in on a village on the Turkish-Syrian border at the beginning of the 1980s. As if in a microcosm, preserved by the cruelty and intransigence of an increasingly radicalised society, the inhabitants live together peacefully, viewing their differences as indispensable pieces of a puzzle in which they are all harmoniously represented. There’s no sentimentality; just the regular unfolding of their naturally multi-faceted daily lives, which no-one feels the need to call into question.
