I AM AN OX, I AM A HORSE, I AM A MAN, I AM A WOMAN
Year1990 Duration60 min. DirectorSally Potter
Made for the BBC show Women Call the Shots, this documentary by renowned director Sally Potter focuses on women’s integration in the Soviet film industry. Through a series of interviews with women who had shot films on an equal basis with men and film clips that had never been shown in the West before (Glasnost, or the policy of openness, had just been introduced when Potter visited the USSR), the film wonderfully portrays the key role played by Soviet women as it introduces the radical concept of a feminist counter-cinema that brings female desire into question and reimagines it.
