Gertrud Pinkus’ Anna Göldin tells the tragic true story of the last woman executed for witchcraft in Switzerland (1781), using austere, courtroom-driven drama to explore patriarchal justice, fear, and social exclusion.
The screening is part of Les Sœurs Lumière, the feminist film club of the Filigrane Library, in partnership with Cinémas du Grütli. This fourth edition explores courtroom films, using six selections to expand the moral and social stakes beyond the courtroom.
In the original German version with French subtitles.
