In collaboration with Club Des Femmes, BFI presents Zetterling’s first film, Flickorna (The Girls). 1968. Men are in charge and the world is burning. A travelling theatre company takes a production of Lysistrata on tour and it’s not long before the women in the cast start seeing their own lives and relationships through fresh eyes. Zetterling’s riff on Aristophanes’ play revealed that little had changed in society since it was written. Simone de Beauvoir loved it.
After the film, Helen De Witt will chair a panel discussion, panellists tba.
