The Original Karina Beumer

Punk, electro, feminism: four friends set the stage ablaze and reinvent the collective. Forsissies follows a feminist punk-electro band born in Brussels. Four friends, concerts that ignite, jams that explode: a film about the raw energy of creation and the power of the collective. Artist Karina Beumer looks for people interested in taking her place. What if one could post an ad to be replaced in one’s own life? Karina Beumer takes on the experiment, reshaping her daily reality with a Michel Gondry–like inventiveness. The responses she receives reveal stark realities: undocumented people seeking legal status, an unemployed woman dismissed as “too old”… Beneath the humor lies a political and poetic reflection on identity, creation, and the place each of us may – or may not – occupy in society.

In the presence of the directors.
