Female articulations in essay films
Essay films thrive on exploratory search movements, personal handwriting, montages of disparate elements - in short, on the audiovisual formulation of a problem. It is no coincidence that filmmakers such as Angela Melitopoulos or Hito Steyerl like to choose this genre of expression, as it allows them to test the boundaries of what is socially agreed, precarious constructions of identity and types of collective speech, and to formulate the sensibility of the respective time in a tentative and sketchy form.
