Apart from referencing the last film title in the programme the headline »me, too!« suggests that the selected films share a feminist perspective with Birgit Jürgenssen as presented in the exhibition titled »I am». The central positioning of the body as a reference point of a specific female experience and the striving for emancipation are the main connecting features within the works of avantgarde artists of several generations, all linked by a kindred spirit.
