Between Women Filmmakers Caravan.

Ventilator Cinema is bringing you a selection of unique short documentary films made by Egyptian filmmakers in collaboration with the Between Women Filmmakers Caravan.

Based in Cairo, the Between Women Filmmakers Caravan supports female filmmakers by providing them with the tools and knowledge necessary to develop their short films from scratch during their Creative Documentary Workshop. This event will screen some of the films produced over the workshop’s past cycles.

Each film explores a world of its own—from a grandmother’s secret and a love-hate relationship with the camera, to witnessing the ever-changing streets of Cairo and bidding farewell to a family home. Together, these films will transport you to an incredibly intimate and whimsical world as the filmmakers seek answers to unresolved questions, grapple with change, and navigate complicated relationships.

Join us on this special evening and stick around for a virtual Q&A with the directors afterwards!
