Ex Utero navigates between a certain history of gynaecology and contemporary testimonies. Facing us, responding to centuries of practice, women testify to one thing in common: having been confronted one day with gynaecological abuse.
Both an intimate and historical account, the film uses visuals borrowed from drawings, engravings, paintings and photographs spanning 10 centuries.
The result of rigorous documentary research, Ex Utero crosses three time periods and three places. The Middle Ages in Belgium, the 18th century in Alabama in the United States and the 20th century in Auschwitz, Poland. Making films is also about reporting on the world around us and hoping for change.
Ex Utero takes a feminist, adelphic and inclusive look at a pain that is still too often silenced in gynaecological surgeries today.
The film will be followed by a discussion and debate with the Director Lili Forestier, and with the participation of Hanan Ben (OUMI) and Mawda Abbas (GAMS).

Mirroring our post-#MeToo era, the film tells the little-known story of the women’s liberation movements in Belgium in the 1970s. Our feminine heritage emerges with humor and insolence, through the irreverent actions of Dolle Mina in Flanders, the support for female miners from Marie Mineur in Wallonia, and the films of Chantal Akerman, a 25-year-old Brussels native who revolutionized cinema. The images of these struggles and encounters, with the women who led them, sheds light on the path we still have to travel to achieve full gender equality in law and in practice.
The film will be followed by a discussion and debate with the Director Kita Bauchet.

On Friday, the Filmhuis De Klappei opens its doors for a special screening of C’è ancora domani, marking the 50th anniversary of the historic 1976 International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women. This powerful and beautifully crafted Italian drama follows Delia, a 1946 Roman housewife who finds the courage to break free from her husband’s tyranny after receiving a mysterious letter. Directed by Paola Cortellesi, one of Italy’s most celebrated multi‑talented artists, the film offers a moving reflection on women’s resilience—perfectly echoing the spirit of the 2026WOMEN Tribunal.
