CPH:DOX 22 - Up to G-Cup

Up to G-Cup is an honest and compelling film in which women are portrayed in a world dominated by war, faith, men, their mothers and grandmothers. The film powerfully demonstrates self-determination, sensitivity, sensuality and sexuality. At the Dutch Film Festival she won the KNF 2021 Award (Press Critic Award). The jury wrote: ‘We were especially impressed by the documentaries. Three nominees excelled in detail. De Bellers, The Photograph en Up to G-Cup take you to the unexpected. But one goes further; You get involved, you worry, you feel the danger. Up to G-Cup is intimate on multiple levels. Women in Kurdish Iraq, unable to speak freely, find sanctuary in this lingerie store. We can watch because director Jacqueline van Vugt creates a safe haven, as did shop owner Shapol Majid. The jury is unanimously impressed by Up to G-Cup.’
