In a snowy Kurdish mountain village in eastern Turkey, Berfé, an old woman, and Jiyan, her young
granddaughter, are troubled when the only man of the household, Temo, the son of one and father
of the other, is arrested and taken into custody by the local gendarmerie. The commanding officer
has received word that the villagers are hiding guns. It is announced that all the men of the village
will be kept in custody until their families submit and hand over the guns they are hiding. But the
problem is there are no guns, at least to the knowledge of these two blameless women. Despairing
and on their own, Berfé and Jiyan are faced with a long journey in search of a gun that they can
exchange for their beloved Temo. But how can their innocence and naivety find a way out in a
system that threatens, eventually, to drag them into the sullied world of an interminable conflict?
Hüseyin Karabey (1970) has been making films since 1996. He graduated from the
Film and Television Department of Marmara University in 2001. His involvement in
the democracy movement in the 90s and his background as a documentarian have
determined the style and the content of his subsequent film work. His first feature
film My Marlon and Brando was selected for the Rotterdam Film Festival and had its
North American premiere at Tribeca, where it won Hüseyin Karabey the Best Director
award. To date, the film has been screened in 36 international film festivals and won
numerous awards. Come to My Voice will be his second feature film.

In Antioch, courtyards are separated from the streets by high walls and their doors are always
closed. In Antioch, every courtyard is a world in and of its own. Among its inhabitants are Turks,
Arabs, Christians, Jews, Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, Alawites, Sunni Muslims... And a different
language is spoken in every courtyard.
Eleni is a beautiful yet rather unkempt 27 year-old woman of Greek origin. She has three daughters
aged nine, seven and five. Since her husband’s death she has been alienated by her neighbours.
Men have stopped speaking to her to avoid gossip, while women do the same to keep her away
from their husbands. Imprisoned in her courtyard with her daughters, Eleni contrives excuses to go
to her neighbours every evening for some conversation…
Semir Aslanyürek (Antakya, 1956) studied medicine at Damascus University until
1978. He then transferred to the Moscow State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK)
Faculty of Film Directing, where he earned undergraduate and graduate degrees
from the department of acting, cinema and TV film between 1980-1986. In 1990,
he started his academic career as a lecturer at the Marmara University Faculty of
Fine Arts at the Department of Cinema & TV. He began shooting his debut feature
Wagon in 1993, but the film’s post-production remained incomplete. He has written
ten feature film screenplays, two of which are literary adaptations.

A Brechtian look at an Ottoman Burlesque with songs and music, 7 Husbands for Hurmuz tells
the story of an alluring woman, Hurmuz who lives in Taşkasap, Istanbul in 1900. She is unofficially
married to six guys of different occupations, each of whom she hosts on different days of the week.
While refusing them nuptial bliss in her bed, she lures them into giving her expensive presents in
order to live on easy terms. One day, Hurmuz happens to see the local doctor Hüsrev while at the
barbershop of one of her husbands. She then feigns illness and asks for the doctor. When the doctor
falls in love with her too, he requisitions her best friend and matchmaker Safinaz to ask for Hurmuz’s
hand. On a night when all the husbands will get together by chance, Hurmuz and her confidante
Safinaz find themselves in trouble.

A bag full of money lands in front of you. Is it luck? The answer to your prayers? Part of a
predetermined plan? Or all of the above? Set in the chaotic streets of Istanbul, 40 is the story of
three strangers making their way in a city of 12 million, all searching…for one bag. Shot entirely on
location, 40 combines intense storytelling with documentary-style cinematography, embarking on a
synchronistic journey that deals with faith, love, luck, destiny, human trafficking…and a bag of cash
that falls from the sky.
Emre Şahin (Istanbul) moved to the United States to study film at Boston’s Emerson
College. His student film Fetish was awarded two acclaimed Evvy Awards (Best Film,
Best Editing). Upon moving to Los Angeles after graduation, Şahin won the coveted

A love affair threatened by a barrier as great as itself…
Can differences of faith stand in the way of an innocent love affair?
Two young people, Esma and Mustafa, fall in love. For them, the future only has meaning if they are
together. Failing this, life is meaningless. However, overhanging their love is a barrier unique to the
period and location: Mustafa is a clandestine Christian, when everyone including Esma thinks he is
Muslim. In the meantime, the Ottoman Empire introduces a series of reforms giving Christians the
same rights as Muslims. From this point on, the Church urges secret Christians to reveal their faith.
This poses a dilemma for Mustafa: he is caught between his love and the Church.
Yusuf Kurçenli (Rize, 1947) studied journalism. He worked as both a producer and
a director for state broadcaster TRT from 1973 to 1980. Kurçenli, who has also
directed numerous television series, is a director who stands out in Turkish cinema
for his own distinctive narrative style.

A painter with a turbulent history, fiercely committed to his ideals and still averse to settling down
despite his 70 years; a lawyer who packed in his job after suffering a heart attack and now pursues
a quiet life looking after his pet snail; a doctor already disenchanted with his profession and now
discarded by his wife; a career woman braving life on her own, who has made loneliness a lifestyle.
These characters are all patrons of Black & White, an Ankara bar that has been around for 25 years,
and in a sense the bar is their last haven. The owner, meanwhile, is the irritable, easily offended but
utterly lovable Faruk...
Black & White is a film about the awareness of growing old, friendship, sensitivity and the finer
details of life.
Ahmet Boyacıoğlu (Zonguldak, 1953) graduated from Ankara University with a

Bornova Bornova is set at a time when dreams have dwindled and sanity is hard to hold on to. Even
the prospect of a regular, routine life now holds great promise.
Salih and Hakan, who spend their entire time outside the local grocery store hoping to get lucky one
day, are like brothers. Hakan, the younger of the two, is just back from national service. The football
career he longed for was over before it even began because of injury, leaving him with neither skills
nor a job. His hope is to become a taxi driver. Salih, the local psychopath, is the only person who
listens to Hakan, the only person to give him advice. Although he comes from a good family, and a
well-educated one at that, Salih is mixed up in all manner of unlawful activity in the neighbourhood.
Everyone is scared of him. Even the high-school girl Özlem. That’s the girl Hakan is crazy about,
except he has never dared speak to her.
İnan Temelkuran (Izmir, 1976) earned a law degree from Ankara University in 1998.
He went to Spain to research the Franco era through the film industry. He earned

Breath is the story of 40 soldiers and their commanding officer, who are charged with guarding a
military post on Karabal Hill, very close to the Iraqi border in south-east Turkey.
These young people have to perform the formidable task of protecting their homeland, which means

They must also survive the very tough physical conditions of a desolate corner of the country. But
at the same time they experience and have to deal with challenges from their own life away from
home; all the grief, joy, sorrow and quandaries…

passion, I thought about making a film based on Envy, because its story mainly addressed the
subject of fate. The story centres on Seniha, whose fate has been determined by her ugliness, and
her transformation from passive victim of this fate, to arbitrator of the fate of beauty, which she so
abhors. It is, then, an uncommon story about the human soul. I felt that a story which deconstructs
beauty, questioning it from the standpoint of ugliness would contribute towards understanding and
talking about a painful human condition.”

In Five Cities, the lives of the five characters are closely bound up with death. A policeman who
is painfully in love; a young university student who works as a part-time shop assistant to pay her
way; a teacher tormented by guilt because of the crime he committed; a man treated badly by life
who sells toy trains and has a thing for poetry; and an 11-year-old boy desperate to be in the school
dance team so he can hold the hand of the girl he loves...
Throughout the film, the lives of these characters change constantly with the irony of fate. Three
of them have cancer and know that they are going to die; the other two are murderers and know
what it is to kill. So each of them has a more intimate acquaintance with death than us regular
human beings.

Ali, a young good-looking guy and something of a womanizer, is the son of a tradesman in the
bustling Mahmutpaşa bazaar district of Istanbul. And Gözde is the philanthropic, nature-loving
daughter of a wealthy contractor, who buys up the commercial building where Ali’s father works.
The contractor decides to raze the building and put up a shopping mall instead. When he asks the
tradesmen to vacate the building right away, the tradesmen join forces, hatch a plan and persuade
Ali to work his charms on Gözde. Ali and Gözde, who meet at a charity night, are quite taken by one
another. A series of plans are contrived with the help of the tradesmen, and a comic and romantic
story unfolds.

The elimination night of ‘Home’, a TV contest along the same lines as ‘Big Brother’... The show goes
ahead smoothly until the eliminated contestant leaves the home. A gunshot is heard and the live
broadcast is interrupted. A gunman has broken into the House and planted bombs at every exit. His
intention is to liven up the dull contest and allow the game to be played by his own rules. There’s
just one condition to leaving the house: everything that happens there under his supervision must
be broadcast live. Under this scenario, where contestants are cast in the role of victim and viewers
in the role of killers, the night promises more than evicting the chosen contestant...

in the depths of a frightening forest. He is a honey-gatherer who hangs his hand-made beehives in the
upper branches of tall trees. The forest is a place of mystery for Yusuf. One morning Yusuf describes
the dream he had that night to his father. This dream is to be an ever-lasting secret between the father
and the son. On that same day, as Yusuf struggles to read before his entire classmates the text the
teacher has given him, he begins suddenly to stutter and is ridiculed by his classmates.
Yakup goes to a distant forest, looking for the Caucasian bees which seem to be mysteriously
disappearing. His father gone, Yusuf slips into silence. Yusuf’s mother Zehra, who works in the tea
fields, is saddened to see her son in this state. No matter how hard she tries, she cannot get her
son to speak.

Thirty-something Egemen works as an office boy for an advertising agency and, despite his age, still
has to live with his mother Gülseren. For Egemen, life has meant dealing with his mother’s mental
black-outs. For Gülseren, on the other hand, the only thing that makes life worth living is Egemen.
The rest is endless angst and a restless spirit endured within the four walls of her house where she
has imprisoned herself. The only person she wants to be with is Egemen. Even the very thought of
something that might separate her from him is enough to drive her mad.
In Darkness is the sometimes frightening, sometimes suspenseful, and occasionally humorous story
of a mother whose life has been shaped by the moral judgment of the middle-class and the young
man forced to live in his mother’s hell.

My mother is dead. Almost no one was at her funeral. Why would people come to her funeral? After
all, my mother wasn’t important to anyone except me. She was a frail, silent woman. Like a ghost…
Actually she was already dead when she was alive and we just had to lower her into the ground.
Now it seems that my last connection with life has gone forever. But who cares? I have nothing to
lose. I feel crushed between these walls. That’s why I like aquariums. Actually aquariums have glass
walls, too. But if it were a very large aquarium full of beautiful accessories like sunken galleys, rocks
with holes resembling small caves, shady weed, it would epitomize a small but very beautiful world.
You would know that it was fake, but you would accept that. But this world is totally different, the
walls here are real.

A space story from Erzincan...
1957... A remote village in the Erzincan area of eastern Turkey… Four impassioned villagers make
plans to travel to the moon, convinced that their mission will succeed. Their adventure is told in the
picture-book style of the period through black & white photographs. And the clipped tones of the
local narrator leave all emotion to the audience.
As events unfold, they are given explanation by prominent Turkish intellectuals with scientific
experience in different fields. And as the various aspects of these events are examined, the audience
is drawn into ‘outlandish’ territory. Watching the film gives the sense less of a historical documentary
than of an in-depth study of contemporary Turkish culture.
Kutluğ Ataman (Istanbul, 1961) studied film at the University of California, Los
Angeles. In 1994, he directed his first feature film, Serpent’s Tale, which brought
him international recognition as well as a number of awards. He won the Carnegie
Prize in Pittsburgh in 2004. In 2003 the UK’s The Observer newspaper selected him
artist of the year. His works are held in public and private collections worldwide,
including MoMA, New York.

Kosmos is a thief who works miracles. He arrives from the wilds in a timeless border town as though
a fugitive, weeping. No sooner is he there, he rescues a small boy from drowning in the river, and
is recognised as a man of miracles.
Kosmos proves to be a rather extraordinary person. He never seems to eat or sleep. His single form
of nourishment is sugar, which he consumes by the fistful. One of his more striking skills is the ability
to scale the tallest trees with uncommon agility. He also declares his wish in life with disarming
honesty, which startles the townspeople: he is looking for love. Soon Kosmos and Neptün, the
teenaged sister of the rescued boy, grow closer in the weirdest of ways: by imitating the screech of
birds in trees and on rooftops.
Reha Erdem (Istanbul, 1960) graduated in film studies from Paris 8 University. He
earned an MA in plastic arts at the same university. He shot his first feature-length
film Oh Moon in 1989 as a French-Turkish co-production. To date, he has written all

The Master focuses on the struggle between a mechanic and his wife: he considers his passion for
flying the centre of his life, while she’d rather have that centre reserved for herself. An imaginative
tale of passion and love set against the real backdrop of politically and religiously polarized 21st
century Turkish society.
The Master explores the spirit of the time in Turkey, an impulsively transforming society, through the
intriguing story of a self-willed amateur aviator.
Bahadır Karataş (1965) graduated from the Film and Television Department of
Anadolu University in 1991. After a year’s experience in the film industry as an
assistant director, he went to Los Angeles on a special scholarship. He was accepted
on a three-year master’s program at the School of Cinematic Arts within the
University of Southern California (USC) and earned a master’s degree in fine arts
in 1996. His short films and documentaries have been screened in Turkey and at
international festivals.

Hüseyin is a young man who lives with his grandparents in a village in Thracian Turkey. The two
great loves of his life are his clarinet and Müjgan, a nurse. Hüseyin is perfectly content with his
music and his fantasies of Müjgan when an unexpected event causes him to leave the village. He
ends up in Istanbul, where he is supported first by his clarinet and then by the singer Firuzan. A
wildly popular nightclub performer who is eagerly working on an album, Firuzan leads a life that
is as colourful as it is complicated. When Firuzan meets Hüseyin, the adventures and laughs begin.

A thrilling story of love and adventure meeting at the dusty crossroads of East and West. The year
1881: the Sultan wants to send the American President a gift. Aziz Efendi and Lemi Bey are assigned
this duty. Aziz Efendi and Lemi Bey, proud of their mission, hit the road, unaware of what awaits
them. After a troublesome journey they arrive in America, without the slightest hunch of the events
they will face. They will meet new people, make new friends and also hordes of enemies. But no

beautiful woman can stop them. It’s all because they are two brave Ottomans determined at all
costs to keep their promise to the Sultan.

A young woman from the very liberal Aegean city of Smyrna is posted to a cold and religious
northern town, Of, for her first job as a judge. She goes with her mother, both full of preconceptions
about the ill-famed town, which is supposedly home to terrifying mafias and Islamists. However,
what they find are warm and joyous people dancing with the merest sound of music on their
beautiful mountains. The only difficulty is the odd mentality of the Black Sea people. A social satire
on regional contradictions, cultural prejudices, Islam and modernity, and the place of women in a
land which gave birth to the Amazons.
Nur Dolay studied sociology and political sciences in the USA and at Sorbonne
University, Paris. She worked as a journalist for the French media (Le Monde
Diplomatique, Courrier International, Thalassa on France 3 TV, Radio France
International) and Turkish press for 28 years. She has travelled all over the world
and written books on Latin America and the Caucasus, as well as making a dozen
documentary films on geopolitical issues and marine subjects. Smyrn-Of is her

A film director from the generation of ’68 decides to intervene in life through his own field. His
real concern is to create a whole new production model, a new language, a new understanding of
aesthetics, and most important, a new production ethic. So he mortgages his country house. When
the director publishes a rapturous manifesto, the house starts to fill up. He tells chosen candidates:
“During the selection process, we have looked to see if you have the courage to go after your heart.
We are here to enrich life with stories worth telling. You should have a story of your own. If you
don’t, then you’ll become the subject of other people’s stories.”
Throughout the film, this location will be used as a show arena, a giant stage. Everything that
happens on this stage will be shot in a musical harmony and with a documentary flavour.
Yavuz Özkan made several short films and wrote screenplays during the 1970s. In
1978, he directed his first feature, The Mine. In the 1980s and 1990s, he directed
several films which won multiple awards both locally and internationally. In 1995,
he founded Z-1 Film Atölyesi (Z-1 Film Studio), opening a film training centre with
33 prominent faculty members as instructors. He served as chairman of the Turkish
Directors Association from 1999-2002.

barber named Azim. When she reaches Kirkuk she learns that Azim has been badly hurt in a bomb
blast and taken to Turkey for treatment. Desperate to track him down, Cennet sets off on an

Omnibus of five short films that were shot in the Turkish province of Kars, on the border with
Armenia. Among the five directors are three debutants who were chosen to film their stories after
winning a scenario contest. The final result is a sympathetic collection of films that remain small and
simple: the puppy love between a boy and a girl on their winter trip to school, the memories of a
young woman about her mother’s response to her first menstruation and bra, and the story of a
student who returns to his village, but all too soon flees again for the past that is waiting for him
there.
The stories take place strikingly often around the cemetery and look at things from the past
being revealed. The last contribution to the omnibus film is also significantly called ‘a small truth’.

apartment block in Istanbul. Her mother, who worries about Derya being alone in life, pressurises
her constantly to get married; but Derya simply ignores these pleas and gets on with her humdrum,
routine life. Except that one day this is suddenly thrown upside down when she hears a supernatural
voice... To begin with, the Voice is no more than an inarticulate murmur; but as time goes on, so
it starts speaking to Derya in words she can understand. Convinced that she is hallucinating, the
young woman does her best to disregard the Voice; however, after a while she has no choice but to
listen. The Voice tells the chilling story of a young woman who confronts her own inner voice and

Love stories have always told of women. The sufferers, the worriers, the unfairly treated have always
been women, leaving men cast as characters afraid of commitment, cynical about love and savvy at
breaking hearts. But is this really so? Are men as insensitive and cruel as they are portrayed in films?
Adını Sen Koy looks into this neglected aspect of love: the world of men. It considers the reflection
of love in that world, and how it affects life and friendships. Can is deeply in love with Aybige,
and plans to marry her. But when he introduces the love of his life to his childhood friend Ilgaz,
something strange happens: Ilgaz is surprisingly cool towards Aybige. His best friend’s attitude
raises Can’s suspicions about his fiancée and makes Aybige uneasy.
Tuna Kiremitçi (Eskişehir, 1973) had his first poems published as a student and won
many awards for them. His first novel was published in 2002 and was seen as one

and his short films have won awards at several festivals. He is currently working as a

Sumru is doing a master’s degree in social anthropology at a university in Istanbul. To work on her
thesis, ‘Women and Elegies’, she sets off for the south-east of the country for a few months. The
brief trip turns out to be the longest journey of her life. She’s accompanied on the way by a black
crow ‘Mnemosyne’, who is a witness to all that happens. In the course of the trip, Sumru crosses
paths with Ahmet, a young guy selling bootleg DVDs on the streets of Diyarbakır, with Antranik, the
ageing and solitary warden of a crumbling church in the city, with Gülizar, whose husband has gone
missing while custody, and with Enver, an older man whose village has been evacuated. Sumru’s
research brings her face to face with other people’s suffering and calls on her to examine how they
deal with it.

The thrills and despair of people whose lives revolve entirely around football and team support...
Broken windows, broken people, broken families... Plans hatched outside the stands, away from the
field; games played outside the games...
Shady guys with no business card, pockets stuffed with dollar bills...
The road to away games ambushed, supporter buses stoned, lives with biased referees, callous love
affairs...
‘Because life isn’t 90 minutes...’

What would a man risk to avoid getting blood on his hands if he found himself and his family
unwittingly surrounded by violence? What are the ways to protect innocence and remain human in
a world dominated by violence? Set in the Cyprus of 1963, this story is inspired by a real-life incident
that took place during the ethnic clashes between Turks and Greeks, and presents its own myths
and belief in peace within an impressive visual and dramatic structure.
Derviş Zaim (1964) graduated from Boğaziçi University with a degree in management
and went on to earn an MA in film and cultural studies from the University of

Sitting dutifully by the sage was a pair of fine Anatolian sheepdogs. He pointed to the animals and
told the shepherd, “The male there is Karabaş, the female Kutlu. They’re fellows in all things. Take
them; they’re yours. Once committed, they’re committed for life. Just never let the dogs see blood.”
There were three bellwethers in the flock, three lead sheep: Kınalı, Badem and Çiçek. One night,
the wolves descended... The blood glistened in the light of the half moon; the leg of a sheep lay
discarded on the ground, while clusters of wool danced around in the chill night air. Karabaş seemed
to change after that night. He attacked the bits of flesh. And he made Kutlu a partner in crime.
Atalay Taşdiken (1964) graduated from Konya Selçuk University with a degree in

Ships explores urban youth culture in Istanbul through the eyes of Ali, a 22-year-old free spirit. Ali
has a recurring dream about trying to get on a ship named ‘Distant’. Not sharing his parents’ middle
class values, he wants to leave his hometown in pursuit of a better life. When he meets Eda, a
tomboyish and striking beauty, who draws ship murals throughout the city, he is convinced that he
must find ‘Distant’ and Eda is meant to join him on his quest. Eda finds it hard to connect with Ali
at first, but is soon drawn to his uniqueness and lack of pretence. Wanting to see what is out there
in the world, Eda and Ali bond in a seemingly childish way and as they embark on an adventure to
find ‘Distant’, their lives are slowly thrown into chaos.

Somewhere in Between is a film project which explores how growing up and living in today’s world
are tantamount to being in ‘total limbo’. The narrative focuses on the desires, dreams, cravings,
viewpoints, expectations and loves of two adolescents stuck in the threshold of purgatory and
chained to their anguish. It is the story of enduring a plastic world suppressed, de-valued and
debased by artificial, illusory expectations - a process that also deepens immutable social inequalities.
After making several award-winning shorts in Turkey, Yeşim Ustaoğlu won
international recognition for her 1999 film, Journey to the Sun, which received the
Blue Angel Award and the Peace Prize in Berlin, among other prizes. Her third film,
Waiting for the Clouds, was awarded NHK Sundance International Filmmaker’s
award. Ustaoğlu’s fourth film, Pandora’s Box, which tells the story of an old
woman with Alzheimer’s disease, won the Best Film and Best Actress awards at San
Sebastian. After screening at numerous international festivals and winning many
awards, the film obtained theatrical release in several countries around the world.

Zeynel and his wife Gülizar, who live in Diyarbakır, move into a larger apartment as they’re expecting
a baby. With the prospect of becoming a father, Zeynel’s memories about his own father Mustafa,
who died when he was just a child, re-emerge and he starts listening to the sound recordings that
his father used to send them. Zeynel’s mother Base, who lives in Elbistan, gave him only one of these
recordings. She didn’t part with the others because she was worried they might get damaged or
lost. When his mother, who normally spends the winters with Zeynel and his family in Diyarbakır,
makes up various excuses and doesn’t visit them for a long time, Zeynel gets worried and goes to
Elbistan to check up on her.

The story opens with a lavish wedding ceremony in rural Anatolia.
A middle-aged groom with a large moustache and his bride, covered in a red bridal veil; guests
dancing around them and guns fired into the air: an extravagant wedding ceremony is being held
with two bands of drums and horns. At the end of the celebrations, which last until midnight, the
bride is led ceremoniously to the bridal chamber. The bride and her sister-in-law are then left alone in
the room, and the sister-in-law gives the bride a final briefing on nuptial customs. From now on, the
camera remains inside the bridal chamber. With her face draped in a red veil, the bride sits waiting
for the groom, reacting oddly to the noises she hears outside.
Reis Çelik (Ardahan, 1961) studied music and drama at the Istanbul State Conservatoire.
In 1982, he began working as an economics and political correspondent for various

The central idea behind Zephyr is based on a child’s umbilical attachment to her mother: how she
longs to be one with her, as when she was inside her, evading the pains and sorrows of growing
up. My primary sources of inspiration for this film are my great-grandmother’s country house in the
foothills of the Eastern Black Sea Mountains, as well as real-life situations and individuals from my
family history. However, the film has a fictional storyline and ending.
In my debut short Boreas - a prelude to Zephyr, which was nominated for the Palm d’Or in Cannes
2006 - I set out to depict a child’s first encounter with death, encapsulated in those splendid visions
of early childhood. My first feature Zephyr expands on similar themes of loss, fear of abandonment,
loneliness and death, and aims all along to portray the human condition versus nature’s condition...

International Filmmor Women’s Film Festival on Wheels
12 March-18 April 2010 - Istanbul, Creteil (France), Kars, Sinop
Filmmor Women’s Film Festival is held every year in Istanbul and goes
on to tour different cities at the invitation and with the support of
other women’s organizations. Festival screenings are categorized into
sections carrying themes like ‘violence against women’, ‘honour’ and
‘body’. The programme also focuses on the place of women’s cinema
and includes collective presentations, Q&A sessions, panel discussions
and workshops. Intentionally, there is no competition section, a
decision based on the argument that women don’t need to compete
with each other, whereas they do need to stick together. The festival
provides the opportunity for women to be together with their dreams,
ideas, productions, to watch women’s experiences as told by women
and to watch examples of cinema that rarely reach commercial theatres.
