Trailer Synopsis Cast

When a woman steps onto the conductor's podium, she is always one of the first: the first to lead a world-class orchestra, the first to conduct the closing night of London's Proms, the first to win the German Conductor Prize. It seems as though the world of orchestral conducting might finally be ready to change its attitudes toward female conductors.

Solidarity According To Women
Solidarity According To Women
It was women who closed the gates and launched the Solidarity strike when, on a Saturday in August 1980, workers, satisfied with a raise, stopped their protest and wanted to leave the Gdansk shipyard. If it had not been for the initiative of several determined women, perhaps there would not have been any August 1980 in Polish history. Under martial law, with the men in prisons, the women took on their role. They were not interested neither in joining the union’s power structure, nor in particular posts. The most important thing was their work and its results. When communism in Poland came to an end on June 4, 1989, the vast majority of women in Solidarity disappeared from the political stage. They let themselves be forgotten when their colleagues were taking over the most important posts in power in a free Poland. This documentary by Marta Dzido and Piotr Śliwowski reminds us about these forgotten heroines, giving us a new perspective on the last 30 years of Polish history.

VERSUS - DIVA!
VERSUS - DIVA!
This music video comes from a position of feminine self-expression and autonomy. We stand as witnesses to a woman giving birth to another part of her identity. In this case, let’s take it in a literal sense as we will see The Saint pushing The Whore out of her body. We begin with these two women celebrating their sensuality and having a firm grasp of their autonomy. And then as the story progresses, we are introduced to a new character who’s convinced it’s his right to take that agency away. But he’s clearly misguided. DIVA! is the pursuit of amplifying the very fact that The Saint in us can co-exist with The Whore as well as The Bitch, The Slut, The Boss, The Motherfucking Diva, and a lot more. It is a celebration of our endless rebirth.
