I'm not a Feminist, but…
Adapted from the cartoons and drawings of Christine Roche
Watch out: if you insist on saying "I'm not a Feminist, but…", then you may well find yourself pushing the old man over the edge or behind the sofa, as the case may be.
Rimminen's feminism has a playful and ironic element to it; her films show just how possible it is to combine critical cinema and entertainment.
Ulrich Wegenast, Trickfilm Festival Stuttgart retrospective, April 1998
Witty and provocative I'm not a Feminist, but… shakes the foundations upon which fundamental inequalities have been built by skilfully confronting sexism at its own game.
