Sultana's Dream
The film tells the story of Inés, an animation artist from Spain, who stumbles across the book “Sultana’s Dream” while in India. She is fascinated by the book because it describes a matriarchal utopia at the beginning of the 20th century, in which women rule a peaceful and safe country while the men have to stay at home. Inés embarks on a journey to find the location of this utopia and in doing so, unleashes her own dreams.

*The film will be followed by a panel discussion organised by the local group of Amnesty International in Baden. We will also be following in the footsteps of “Sultana’s Dream”: we will be talking about how the situation of women in India differs from that in Europe and Switzerland, and what it takes to achieve real freedom and equality.

- Sukhada Tatke (freelance journalist specialising in culture, immigration and gender)
- Claire-Louise Blaser (PhD student at the ETH in modern history with a research focus on connected histories between (post-) colonial Switzerland and India as well as the history of transnational feminism).
