Kita Bauchet

Doucmentary depicting the goings on in a public bathhouse in the Brussels neighborhood the Marolles.

School is out, and Indian and Cowboy are bored. Watching an old pirate film gets them out of their funk and they decide to build a ship and go off on an adventure. But their first try is a disaster. With the help of some animals, they finally manage to launch their proud vessel and everything is ready for their departure. But of course, nothing goes to plan... And the catastrophes come thick and fast.

Portrait of Belgian historian, reporter and documentarian André Dartevelle.

Queer March may be over, but the fight for equality continues all year round. In Bandes d’Hystériques, Brussels-based director Kita Bauchet delves into the little-known story of the feminist emancipation movements in 1970s Belgium. Through the radical actions of the Dolle Mina’s in Flanders, the support for the miners’ wives of Marie Mineur in Wallonia, and the groundbreaking International Tribunal for Crimes Against Women (a sort of #MeToo movement forty years ahead of its time), the film sketches a legacy of resistance and tireless creativity.
