International Women's Film Festival
Femina is a competitive festival featuring films directed by (cis and transgender) women and non-binary people. It is the first event of this kind in Brazil and in Latin America and had its first edition in 2004. Besides presenting the work of Brazilian producers, thus increasing their visibility and paving the way for Brazilian cinema abroad, the festival also brings foreign production to Brazil. The 15th edition of Femina will be held at Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil – CCBB Rio de Janeiro. The full schedule is available at https://feminafest.com.br.
The opening of Femina will be on March 18, at 7 am, with “Madame Rodin ou L’Âge Mûr”, directed by Lana Cheramy. The film, not yet released in Brazil, takes place in February 1871. At the Paris Commune, Rose Beuret needs to take care of an unfinished Rodin sculpture, and seeks refuge in the dedication to this work to forget about her own solitude. The registration link for the opening session, subject to capacity, is available at https://linktr.ee/feminafestival2025.
