The last chapter of the project Restless Image focuses on how feminism has impacted the works of recent moving image artists. The subject of the five films showcased during the event is the formation and re-evaluation of relationships between the authors, protagonists, and the viewers of the audiovisual artworks. As a part of the event, a themed publication with an essay by Hana Janečková will be launched. The essay is inspired by the presented works and explores the significance of female role models in the recent moving image works. Looking at artist’s re-workings of historical moments, controversial figures – such as the Sphinx, the first trans star, the Algerian freedom fighter Jamila Bouhired, and an unknown porn actress – are positioned to explore the understanding of female sociability, intergenerational relationships, and queer desire.

Curators: Alžběta Bačíková, Markéta Jonášová a Hana Janečková
