Cinenova ist eine ehrenamtlich geführte Organisation in London, die sich der Erhaltung und Distribution feministischer Film- und Videoproduktionen widmet. Cinenova entstand 1991 aus dem Zusammenschluss von Circles und Cinema of Women, die beide in den frühen 1980ern gegründet wurden. Aktuell sind über 500 Titel im Verleih, darunter Experimental- und Spielfilme, Künstlerfilme und –videos, Dokumentationen und Lehrfilme von den 1920ern bis heute.

Das Festival stellt die Sammlung von Cinenova vor, sowie die kollektive Praxis der Organisation. Ein Ausgangspunkt bildet die historische Perspektive mit Fokus auf Interview/Gespräch im Film. Ein zweiter Aspekt ist dabei die Frage, wie geopolitische Hegemonien von Aspekten wie Race, Gender und Nationalität durchdrungen sind. Diese Reihe von Filmvorführungen und Veranstaltungen, erarbeitet in Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Gruppen und Personen, versucht verschiedene Zugänge zur Produktion und Distribution von Kultur durch Film- und Videoproduktionen zu eröffnen. 5.12.2013, THURSDAY//Donnerstag, 05.

ABOUT THE FILM Scuola Senza Fine (in English: SCHOOL WITHOUT END) by Adriana Monti Scuola Senza Fine (in English: SCHOOL WITHOUT END) by Adriana Monti shows how an educational experiment (150 hours of school) was implemented in Italy beginning of 1974, available to factory workers and farmers initially, and expanding to include women a couple of years later. The courses were non-vocational; they were not intended to improve one’s productivity at work, but rather to allow for personal and collective growth. The courses sought to help workers reflect not only upon their working conditions but also on their lives. A large part was devoted to the re-elaboration and reinterpretation of what was defined as the "lived experience" of those attending: their experiences with work, emigration, cultural and language discrimination, union struggles, etc. The film was produced in collaboration with these students as part of their studies for the class, turning the curriculum's questions about the representation of women into questions about the representation of themselves. Adriana Monti writes in her introduction to the film: "After I had been working with a particular group of housewives for a year we started shooting the film Scuola Senza Fine (literally School Without End) almost casually, in 1979. I was able to get equipment free of charge and money to pay for the film was made available. Rediscovering the pleasure of reading and studying was reliving their adolescence. It was important for them to have teachers to whom they could tell in writing what they had done and thought, their past history and plans for the future. The film shows how the women related to each other at that time and the special closeness each woman felt for every other – perhaps because they came from the same place, or shared the same ideals and way of thinking, or, simply, because they were fond of each other. For many women, rediscovering the mother/teacher relationship meant being able to express thoughts which had often been undervalued or disregarded (most of the housewives attending the course had given up their education to go to work or had not been able to make use of the knowledge they had already, because they stayed at home after getting married). The opportunity to relive that relationship in a learning situation stimulated a very interesting kind of writing and thought."
