Nordic Women in Film 2021

E’ in corso online l’evento Nordic Women in Film 2021 organizzato da WIFT International, WiFV Washington e 5 ambasciate nord-europee.

I paesi scandinavi affrontano da tempo e con orgoglio le complessità della parità di genere e in questa occasione di scambio e confronto con gli Stati Uniti esaminano, amplificano e celebrano l’audacia e la creatività dello sguardo femminile.

I film proposti non sono visibili in Italia, tuttavia le conversazioni che si sono già svolte e che si svolgeranno tra i due lati dell’Atlantico sono accessibili e vi invitiamo a scoprirle.
