FOURTH IAWRT ASIAN WOMEN’S FILM FESTIVAL
2008, INDIA
CALL FOR FILM ENTRIES
------------------------------
IAWRT, with IIC Asia Project, is
organizing the Fourth Asian Women’s Film
Festival, to be held March 2008.
So far three festivals have been held:
2005 Expressions in Freedom
2006 Women, Media and Society:
Transformations
2007 Reflections : Women Imaging Realities
In 2008, we plan Insights and Aspirations -
a two day event - to mark the International
Women’s Day (March 7th to 8th 2008).
The aim of the festival is to open up a
space for debates on creative processes and
concerns.
Recognizing the critical need for a forum
that can sustain the form of documentary as
well as women’s contribution to this unique
form, the festival will showcase documentary
films created by women, covering a range of
genres and expressive styles.
It will present films that explore and
reflect on how women filmmakers negotiate,
resist or document political, social,
cultural, environmental, educational or
economic issues. Are they creating a new
language of filmmaking, which reflects,
explores a news aesthetic and politics of
filmmaking? How are women widening the frame
for issues concerning women? These can be
some of the central questions in the
festival coupled with panel discussions
and/or a seminar.
IIC Asia-project and IAWRT will use this
forum to curate a special session dedicated
to short films across genres of animation,
fiction and documentary film.
The International Association of Women in
Radio and Television (IAWRT) is a non–profit
professional organization of women working
in electronic and allied media. The IAWRT is
a non-government organization (NGO), in
consultative status with United Nations
Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
IAWRT collaborates with media organizations
and organizes conferences, projects and
activities.
