The irony of this festival is that its goal is to not be around in 5 years time. To eventually not be relevant because there is zero need to have a festival geared for female talent and female stories because the stories presented in Hollywood and around the world are a balanced showcase of the human experience from both sexes.

Our goal is to achieve a lot of success and then fold into oblivion simply because there is no need for this festival.

This festival was created by the FEEDBACK Film & Writing Festival as a simple reaction to a strong need to showcase female talent from around the world in a more profound way.

When putting together the weekly festival, the administration noticed a lack of a female presence in the stories being shown at the festival.

A classic example and analogy to the frustration is how the festival noticed that even the smaller roles in a screenplay were written for a man to play. There was zero reason for this in many stories. How a police officer, or a political campaign manager, for example with 3-4 lines in a screenplay was a "HE" character. Why? And these are the screenplays written by the winners! The talented one who have obtained agents and have began/beginning their careers as a writer.

A History of the Overlapping Face — Cinemaniac

Ingmar Bergman’s Persona (1966) is arguably his most famous masterpiece. Persona is filled with surreal imaging and dream sequences in which it’s very hard to filter dreams from reality. I don’t think anyone can say for sure what Bergman is suggesting through his works: maybe it is showing that the ‘Persona’ we assume is a […]… Continue reading A History of the Overlapping Face — Cinemaniac
