- Stories of A. by Belmont, Charles,film director.; Issartel, Marielle,film director.; Icarus Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Icarus Films in 1973.Shot in Paris in 1973, this feminist film on the fight for abortion rights was banned as soon it was released. A large-scale game of hide-and-seek ensued, as activists created an underground distribution network, hiding the film from the police — and creating an effective model for cinema as an act of civil disobedience in the process. Recently restored, STORIES OF A is both a fascinating historical document, and a reminder of the critical importance of access to abortion.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Health.; Criminal law.; Social sciences.; Balts (Indo-European people).; Foreign study.; Medicine.; History, Modern.; Human rights.; Documentary films.; Women's studies.; Current affairs.; History.; Women--Health and hygiene.; Nineteen seventies.; Political participation.; Abortion.; Police.; Feminism.; Women's rights.; Physicians.; Medical care.; France.;

Seventeen-year-old Ginia (Yile Yara Vianello) leaves the countryside with her brother in search of a new life in the city. Though Turin lies in the shadow of a rising fascist government and her brother yearns to return home, Ginia is optimistic about the future. In a short time, she excels in her work as a seamstress at an atelier, gaining new clients with her designs and impressing her otherwise irascible employer. Restless and seeking adventure, Ginia soon finds it in a beautiful, enigmatic young woman named Amelia (Deva Cassel). Though similar in age, her new friend’s sensuality and confidence embolden Ginia to begin modeling for the bohemian artists in their circle. A whirlwind affair ensues, and the young seamstress finds herself swept up in this unfamiliar and exciting world, all the while never escaping Amelia’s spell. The young women grow closer, and Ginia makes an emotional journey towards self-discovery over the course of one beautiful, sun-dappled summer. Featuring tender performances by Vianello and Cassel, Laura Luchetti’s latest coming-of-age drama showcases “the intertwined complexities of first love and first sexual experiences, highlighting the inevitable messiness and poignancy of adolescence” (Screen Anarchy).Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Drama.; Queer cinema.; Motion pictures--Italy.; Historical films.; Coming-of-age films.; Nineteen thirties.; Motion pictures--Europe.;
