This edition is another four-day journey through the world’s cinema and meetings with filmmakers from abroad.
From rural women in Brazil to memories of the Soviet occupation of Hungary, from the scars of the first world war and its mass graves to the political struggles in Africa, women are refusing to stay silent and are inventing new ways to fight back. From the indigenous Canadians to family ties, from teenagers’ doubts to hip hop, from the journeys of a pair of panties along the production line to corruption or prostitution, they all testify.
The filmmakers draw from every form of cinematographic expression to convey their experiences and feelings.
Join and see how women, today, invent every form of expression and create strategies to claim their place in society and the cultural world.
