Working in both drama and documentary (and sometimes fusing the two), Australian writer-director #KittyGreen is one of contemporary cinema’s sharpest observers of young women navigating the hostile terrain of male power. Drawing on her Ukrainian family heritage, she made her feature debut with the hard-hitting feminist group-portrait #UkraineIsNotABrothel (2013), then put an inspired new spin on true-crime tropes with #CastingJonBenet (2017). Her award-winning debut narrative feature, #TheAssistant (2019), was one of the first to dramatize the film industry’s explosion of #MeToo revelations, while #TheRoyalHotel (2023) subverts the male-gaze rules of the Outback horror genre. Fittingly, strong women directors and female-driven stories dominate Green’s eclectic international film selection for #Galerie, from unflinching depictions of toxic masculinity like Vivian Qu’s #AngelsWearWhite (2017) and Isabella Eklöf’s #Holiday (2018) to Jessica Hausner’s exquisitely composed pilgrimage parable #Lourdes (2009). As Green tells Galerie, “Anything that’s a little different excites me.”
"My mother is a photographer and art teacher and she always raves about Jessica Hausner’s composition. Hausner has an exquisite eye. Every frame is so delicately composed. Lourdes is divine."
