»Life Is Not a Competition, But I’m Winning« bei »ifs-Begegnung« Gender & Diversity

In the organizer's words:

In hardly any other area of society is the binary gender system upheld as much as in sport. The trans* marathon runner Amanda Reiter from Lenggries in Bavaria and the Ugandan 800 meter runner Annet Negesa, along with many other athletes, are the focus of this story about restrictive gender concepts in competitive sport and the attempt to break free from them. Life Is Not a Competition, But I'm Winning is a visually stunning statement about breaking out of the norms of binary thinking.

The screening will be followed by a film discussion with director Julia Fuhr Mann, moderated by Dr. Maxa Zoller (Artistic Director IFFF Dortmund+Cologne).
