Over 50 portraits of WOMEN in the world
As for each edition, a theme is chosen for the programming. In 2015, the theme is WOMEN. Building a programming around a thematic offers the possibility for the audience to be “guided” into the richness of the large worldwide cinema heritage. The audience will be invited to a “journey” within the selection of films around WOMEN : from a country to another, from early times of the cinema to more recent classics, from a vision to another… Through this selection, the festival aims at opening a window on the world of the past to better understand the world of today. 54 different visions of the women, as of 1906… : loved, hated, despised, criticized, admired, heroic, defeated, mean or brave…
WOMEN is a complex and rich thematic. It covers films directed by men about women, but also films directed by women, presenting their own vision of the world. The thematic gives the opportunity to discover the way women were presented in films and consequently their position in the society through the ages. The thematic will of course embrace women playing a character who will become iconic forever.
