- Jill Godmilow, Joanna Krakowska and Magda Mosiewicz pay homage to the original SCUM Manifesto, a French film made in 1976 by Carole Roussopoulos and Delphine Seyrig that was inspired by Valerie Solanas's infamous text of the same name.
- "Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex." So begins the infamous 1967 text, SCUM Manifesto, by Valerie Solanas - best known as the woman who shot Andy Warhol. This Polish-language version is an exact replica of the film made in 1976 by feminist Carole Roussopoulos and actress Delphine Seyrig, who performed a French translation of about 12 essential paragraphs, line by line, and typed it up on camera. Phrase by phrase the text emerges as a catalyzing provocation toward the decolonization of the female mind. It is the filmmakers' hope that other women will replicate this film in their own countries and in their own languages, so that Solanas's text continues to circulate in this time of confusion and collapse.
