Männer zeigen Filme und Frauen ihre Brüste

At the Cannes Film Festival, young director Isabell Šuba fights with her incompetent producers and old stereotypes in the film business - an experiment with reality. Isabell Šuba has made it – or so she thinks! One of her short films is screening at the world’s largest film festival. But instead of red carpet and caviar, her chauvinistic producer and an overbooked hotel await her in Cannes. In a partnership of convenience, the two are trying to find investors for a new project, unfortunately to no avail. Isabell looks reality straight in the eye: David’s neanderthal-like behavior is no exception. Even in Cannes, there is no exception to the rule: men show their movies, women show their breasts! This movie is an experiment with reality. In 2012 the “real” director Isabell Šuba transformed her invitation to the 65th Festival de Cannes into her latest filmproject. During the whole course of the festival she gave her identity to actress Anne Haug and accredited herself as film student Anne Woelky. “Men show movies and women their breasts” was shot in five days without any funding. It is supposed to point the way for equality of opportunities for men and women in the movie industry, for female role models which need to be established alongside men. But how is that supposed to work out when German funding goes almost always to male filmmakers? It’s time for change,, for new women à la Isabell Šuba: talented. self-confident, fierce.
