For the second year in a row, we are collaborating with the Aswan International Women’s Film Festival through an exchange of films that centre women. This week, AIWFF will be screening a showcase of five powerful and empowering shorts from our 10th Anniversary programme last October created by, starring, and about women. Each of these films is a testament to women’s resilience and the importance of using our voices. We are proud to have them representing us in Aswan!
