Sieben Frauen, sieben Sünden (1988)
Directed by Chantal Akerman, Maxi Cohen, Valie Export, Ulrike Ottinger, Laurence Gavron, Bette Gordon, Helke Sander
“Seven women filmmakers explore the seven deadly sins”
Drama · 1h 49m
Seven Women, Seven Sins (1986) represents a quintessential moment in film history. The women filmmakers invited to direct for the seven sins were amongst the world's most renown: Helke Sander (Gluttony), Bette Gordon (Greed), Maxi Cohen (Anger), Chantal Akerman (Sloth), Valie Export (Lust), Laurence Gavron (Envy), and Ulrike Ottinger (Pride). Each filmmaker had the liberty of choosing a sin to interpret as they wished. The final film reflected this diversity, including traditional narrative fiction, experimental video, a musical, a radical documentary, and was delivered in multiple formats from 16, super 16, video and 35mm.
