SALON & FILM
@ HAIRSALON AKWABA (IXELLES)
Afrika Filmfestival, FilleFille and Akwaba Hairsalon present to you:
“An evening dedicated to discussing how female
bodies are still seen as functional tools and not entities
in themselves. What are the psychological and societal
consequences for infertility?”
6.30 pm Doors
7:00 pm Film screening The Fruitless Tree
8:00 pm Break with dinner
8:30-10.00 pm Discussion
The Fruitless Tree by Aïcha Macky. The director Aicha Macky turns the lens
on herself and her struggle with infertility. Married but childless, her circumstance
is judged unacceptable in her native Niger. In her conservative society,
women are always getting blamed for infertility. Macky bravely addresses
the taboo of childlessness and the stigma women like her must endure while
finding a way to affirm herself as a fulfilled individual among others.
