Women at the Movies

International Film Conference
// in English //

Talks on “women and cinema” tend to focus on what we see on the screen, rarely on the spectators. Issues of representation, talks about quota, discussing the work of women behind and in front of the camera, the percentage of films by women at major film festivals, malpractice and abuse in the film industry, etc. have become common themes and topics.

With this conference we want to turn our gaze toward the women in the audience. Especially when it comes to quality art house cinema – the cinema that is more than mere entertainment – women have come to play a significant role in maintaining and promoting the movie-going experience and habit. A number of international film professionals will be addressing female film-going practices.

Participating: Ian Christie, Tara Judah, Judith Thisse, Koen Van Daele and others.

Free entrance.

Organization: Kinodvor; in co-operation with: City of Women.
