Sujet: [Badgirlz-list] Sexwork; filmscreening in Hamburg, 10th of June

The 2nd of June is the International Day for Sex Workers' Rights. All over
the world, sex workers are facing a variety of problems: Their work is not
fully accepted due to taboos, discrimination, police harassment,
ostracism. Sometimes, their access to health and social services is
denied. We take this day as an occasion to show some international short
films, that partly where made in the sex workers' movements. The selection
includes:

ONE DAY. (DK 2007, Ditte Haarløv Johnsen, 30 min). Intimate close-ups
conceal faces but reveal sordid circumstances in ONE DAY, a complex short
about a 36-year-old Ghanaian prostitute who earns a living in a suburb of
Copenhagen. The camera captures her body infragments, discrete and
respectful, using close-ups that never reveal her entire face. Just a day
in her life.

THE SEX WORKERS' WORLD CUP (Germany 2010, Chawla/Schäfer/Wiese, 30 min).
Just before the World Cup 2006, Germany was overrun by the rumor that
40.000 women were going to be trafficked into Germany for forced
prostitution. This short film tracks how this discourse came into being,
and what the realities were for sex workers during the games.

Most films are shown in English or with English subtitles.

An event organized by Bildwechsel e.V.

Location: Metropolis Kino, Steindamm 52/54, Hamburg; more information: www.metropoliskino.de
