Seven Women Seven Sins represents a quintessential moment in film history. The women filmmakers invited to direct for the seven sins were amongst the world's most renown: Helke Sander (Gluttony), Bette Gordon (Greed), Maxi Cohen (Anger), Chantal Akerman (Sloth), Valie Export (Lust), Laurence Gavron (Envy), and Ulrike Ottinger (Pride). Each filmmaker had the liberty of choosing a sin to interpret as they wished. Their modern conceptions range from the absurd, to the hilarious, to the outrageous. The final film reflected this diversity, including traditional narrative fiction, experimental video, a musical, a radical documentary.
