The Festival’s aim is to encourage, through cinematographic art and expression, a reflection on relevant issues for women related to their specific cultural, political and social context but also according to a multicultural and global perspective. Therefore, the Festival itself wants to be a place for intercultural dialogue and dialectical comparison between different cinematographies as well as an opportunity to promote distribution of films that, in spite of their quality and thematic relevance, are unlikely to have access to commercial circuits. The Festival pays also particular attention to emerging cinemas and young female filmmakers.
