THE CASE YOU, D: Alison Kuhn | 80 min
Six women who have at least one thing in common meet in an empty theatre hall: They were all confronted with systematic assaults of a sexual and violent nature during a casting for a film.The director of The Case You was also one of the applicants at the time. Five years later, together with the others in a protected setting and in front of the camera, she tries to reconstruct step by step how the assaults happened. As they re-enact the situations, it becomes clear at which moments the boundaries were crossed. The film makes it vividly tangible how the events still affect women today and shows why there are no grey areas when it comes to structural violence and abuse of power. (Gerda Leopold)
