Borinboresi
Borinboresi is the Nankani-word for the mural paintings of the women in the Kasena/Nankana area of Ghana, West Africa. Due to the increasing influence of Western culture, capiptalism and Christianization, this art form is slowly disappearing. The documentary Borinboresi concentrates on the process of making the mural paintings, on the spontaneity and realism of this art form.
Womenfolk
Even nowadays in the traditionally very family-structured and male dominated agricultural business, it is not always easy to lead a farm as a woman living without a life partner. Be it the acceptance in society or the question, how to manage all the challenging physical work, which on other farms is done by two or more people. Driving around with their tractors, handling the cattle and doing a lot of manual work, the six portrayed Austrian women farmers manage the obstacles in their lives with quite different styles.
