Le Festival International de Films de Femmes

Pamela Price writing for I V Y Paris

There is nothing sexier than women and men coming together to celebrate the art of femininity. Take Eve Ensler's, The Vagina Monologues... comme ça.

Women artists are creating art which covers the human spectrum of insecurities, romance, careers, to name a few. These issues come to life when they are communicated through film.

What better opportunity to experience this than at the 30th anniversary of Le Festival International de Films de Femmes.

For thirty years, women from all around the world have collaborated and contributed their film projects. They meet once a year in Paris.
Every year there are new filmmakers and new issues for panel discussions.

Actors and artists from all over attend the event and kickstart films made by women from every culture imaginable.

Here is a taste from the Festival menu:

150 films from around the world
1 guest of honour
30 film lessons (discussion panels)
30 video public statements

50 unreleased films of young directors

30 film lessons with the most important international directors (Mira Nair, Helma Sanders-Brahms, Agnes Varda, Catherine Breillat, Lea Pool, Guo Xiaolu…)
