15TH DOCS AGAINST GRAVITY FILM FESTIVAL 2018
SINGLED OUT
Watchable. What two Spanish women single out in the documentary is a mass phenomenon. The audience comprised mostly of women around the age of 40 and the picture presented single females in their 30s from from the West, from the Near East and from the Far East. Peculiar info is that in China find-a-partner fairs are organised, women are pushed into getting married as soon as they turn 18, the pressure increases at 25 and peaks at 30. In all that a Ph. D. is an obstacle. In Turkey single women happen to be harassed and Erdoğan is trying to remove gender equality from the constitution, simultaneously calling unmarried childless females, or even those with fewer than 3-5 children "half-women". Worldwide, the higher educated and better-earning the woman is the lower is her chance of finding a relationship. The film doesn't go deep into the phenomenon but presents cultural differences. And there's one cute image of bats hanging upside down. Important scenes are displayed along with the credits.
