WOMEN IN FILM

Throughout human history, women have been subjected to the oppressive force of patriarchal social relations. For so long they have been denied a voice, even in the modern medium of cinema. In recent years, with the advance of the movement for equal rights around the world, more and more films are being made that offer fresh views on women’s lives. This theme is dedicated to such films that are about women’s hopes, dreams, and struggles in various aspects of life.
