Nefertiti: The Lonely Queen
3 x 60’ or 1 x 90’, 2019, HD
Nefertiti: The Lonely Queen looks at the status of cultural treasures taken from their country of origin. Voices demanding repatriation are getting stronger - the resistance of the former Colonial powers holding on to these cultural cornerstones grows accordingly. Museum directors talk about why their institution is the rightful owner and custodian of certain objects. People demanding repatriation explain the necessity of guarding their cultural heritage in an accessible place in the home country.
Famine, assimilation, adultery, rivalry, surrogate motherhood, politics, murder, mayhem and the seduction of the worst biblical bad boys, this series looks at the Old Testament stories of feisty femmes who dared to take the initiative and assume responsibility for the destiny of their people.
