The Long Road to the Director's Chair plot

Filmmaker Vibeke Løkkeberg returns to the First International Women's Film Seminar, organized in Berlin in 1973 by Claudia von Alemann and Helke Sander—one of the very first feminist film festivals. Nearly fifty years later, Løkkeberg rediscovers the lost visual and audio material and transforms it into a cinematic journey through time, exploring conversations, encounters, and moments of collective attention. What emerges is an atmosphere of solidarity, openness, and determination: women demanding space in a male-dominated film and television world. At the same time, this retrospective confronts us with the question of what struggle remains undecided and what hope was at risk of being lost along the way.

A compelling and important documentary featuring footage of interviews from the 1970s that is unfortunately still relevant in 2026. Female filmmakers and actresses are increasingly taken less seriously, and therefore have to work harder to find work. The Smurfette theory (her only characteristic is being "female" with all the stereotypical traits) wasn't called that in the 1970s, but it certainly existed back then. Fortunately, there has been some progress, but we're not there yet!
