Mädchen in Uniform - Compassion Against Fascism:
This week's video essay continues our celebration of women filmmakers for Women's History Month as we discuss a classic of queer cinema from a tragic era in Germany's past, Mädchen in Uniform. A tale of teenage crushes presented through a Sapphic lens, Leontine Sagan's film also demonstrates a deep empathy for the trauma LGBTQ+ people experience in the face of prejudice and fascism. Ultimately, this is a film about how compassion triumphs over oppression.
