Filmmor Women Film Festival 10

Film Festival
9th March-19th March 2012, Istanbul
I am celebrating the 10th year of Filmmor... I celebrate Alice Guy-Blache, Agnes Varda, Furrug Ferruhzad,    Germaine Dulac, Maya Deren and all other women of film makers...


Feminist film lovers and film makers are still feeling like the very first day. Unfortunately not much have changed for better during this decade in the field of gender discrimination, gender based violence, terror against women and other related issues. Actually I think the things are getting worse, as the people have lost their dedication to change the situation. Because the indicators show that there is a progress. However I do not see that progress in the lives of women and other disadvantaged groups...

Filmmor once again gave us the opportunity to watch, think, talk and discuss about gender related issues in different cities of Turkey at least for one month. The festival travelled through İstanbul, Van, Hakkari and Çanakkale for one month, but it is not enough any way.

The trailer of the festival captures a typical "kitchen" scene from the classic "Jeanne Dielman" (1975) by Chantal Akerman .
