One of the short films in the Miu Miu Women’s Tale program, at the Giornate degli Autori, “Stane” by Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović is a statement on woman affirmation, gender roles and patriarchy.
Women in Power, women in the family
The general feeling about a woman in power is that she has to be put there, not that she earned it. In “Stane” by Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović , her professional abilities are recognised but she cannot have the same power of decision inside her family.
Women rights are paramount
All Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović ‘s films are about or around the issue of women’s rights and female affirmation. In this film, the will to rebel that Stane feels has to come to terms with her role as a mother and the love for her child.
Plot
On the day of an inauguration to head the family business Stane confronts marriage, love and patriarchy.
