From the data base of the video programming online platform ArtFem.TV, a monthly selection of works is screened at the cinema Udarnik in Maribor, Slovenia. The selection of works is chosen each month on an issue of contexts in the feminist field by Evelin Stermitz.

Love / L’Amour / LJUBEZEN

The selected video works circle around “Love”, one age-old central theme of various film genres, but while subverting this and viewing aspects of “Love” in a different perspective. It comes to a feminist critique of “Love” as a binary societal phenomena when facing its suppressive and destructive aspects, expressed in articulating the “side effects” of “Love” within male power structures and dependency. Beneath the emphasis on critical video works, other depict “Love” as universal but individual experience, and some show desperate aspects of “Love” with humour and irony.
