HER
WORLD
A short film by Janna Ilgner
Country: Germany, Norway
Year: 2024
Length: 19min
For over a century, the male gaze has dominated our screens, shaping the way we perceive and tell stories. Now, it is time to unravel these stereotypes. Will a female gaze be the answer?
HER WORLD is not just about deconstructing; it's about building a new narrative - one that is equal, inclusive, diverse, and empowering.
HER WORLD will take you on a cinematic journey into the heart of storytelling, analysing how
the male gaze has shaped the narratives we see on screen, while exploring the advantages and potential definitions of a female gaze. Through conversational interviews, engaging visuals, and personal reflections, this documentary invites you to question stereotypes and consider the profound influence of diverse voices in cinema. HER WORLD is therefore not just an exploration;
it's a call to action, urging filmmakers and audiences to embrace a world where diverse perspectives enrich and redefine the stories that captivate us all.
