The next film in the Office for Gender Equity Film Series, The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972), is based on the play written by German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Almost entirely restricted to protagonist Petra von Kant's bedroom, this film reveals the deeply complicated relationship between this fashion designer and the women within her home. The film is supported by an all-female cast, with the two main women alongside Petra being her lover and assistant. Petra's imbalanced and hierarchical relationships with these two reveal much about her character and her past.7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
