"As both a document and a utopia, Lizzie Borden's film looks back at the history of the feminist movement, whilst simultaneously opening perspectives on a future in which women have banded together to pursue their aims." kunsthaus-bregenz.at.
'Born in Flames' will be shown on 6 August at Kunsthaus Bregenz.
