CENTURY OF WOMEN

Documentary filmmaker Uli Gaulke (HAVANA MI AMOR, COMRADES IN DREAMS) cites a leitmotif from Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude as the inspiration for his latest project which is set to begin shooting this spring and will present world history over the last century from a female perspective. The focus will be on a day in the life of four remarkable ladies – a photographer from Japan, a Panama-born actress who fled in exile to Austria, a Jewish runner from New York, and an environmental activist from India – who have each changed the world in their own way during their lifetimes and yet don’t tire of making plans for the future, despite the fact that they have all now turned 100.
