Panjara – Feminist Views on South Caucasus
Mohrenstraße 60
10117 Berlin
"Panjara" means "window" in the Armenian, Azerbaijani and Georgian languages. A window connects the private with the public and symbolizes communication and interaction. It is a metaphor for a common view of different struggles. This is because the issues of individual feminist struggles in the different states are similar and yet not the same. The film "Panjara" aims to illuminate this contradiction and enable a collective understanding of the struggles. The documentary film centers around politically active women from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia and focuses on the situation of politically active women on the ground.
