FILM: THE TOWN OF BADANTE WOMEN
By Stephan Komandarev
Bulgaria | 2009 | 70 min
 
A town without women. The men look after the children, cook, do the washing and... wait for money from wives working abroad. The Town of Badante Women is as much about Varshets, Bulgaria, as it is about socio-economic challenges that lead to profound changes in the traditional structure of the small community.
 
TALK: The screening will be followed by a talk moderated by Naima Azough with Odette Indanan, member of Migrante NL Den Haag, and Marlou Schrover, professor in Migration History at Leiden University.
 
This film evening is complementary to our current photography exhibition SHUM HOT: Young women from Tirana in perspective, by Dutch photographer Sietske Wouda.

DODO Series: WE MEAN WOMEN!
To mark this year's International Women's Day, Het Nutshuis is dedicating the March & April series of DODO evenings to women and the community. These 4 very different contemporary stories feature women living in particular social colonies. A provincial town, a prison, an island, a village. In search of a better life, these ordinary girls take action and make choices that determine not only their own present, but almost imperceptibly, their sisters' future.
A special highlight of the programme is the Movies that Matter Festival evening, March 22nd.
 
DODO: WE MEAN WOMEN is a series of  docs + talks moderated by Naima Azough. During the discussions following the screenings, Naima will be joined by artists, activists for women's rights and filmmakers.
                                         
The dodo (Raphus Cucullatus) stood about a metre tall, weighing about 20 kilos, living on fruit and nesting on the ground. DODO is the documentary film programme in Het Nutshuis. We screen on Thursday.
