Born in Flames Born in Flames

Lizzie Borden / USA / 1983 / 80 min / English

This formally and politically radical futuristic fantasy about a women's uprising, shot guerrilla-style for $200 on the streets of pre-gentrification New York, is a classic and a milestone of 1980s American feminist and underground cinema. Lizzie Borden created the film in dialogue with its performers (including Kathryn Bigelow), who play fictional versions of themselves.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
