💣 The 𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬 𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 will have a
focus on women *

👁 A section of short films made by women* directors from Northern Europe under the name of 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗰 | 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲* 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 will be the special focus of this upcoming edition. This is a curated section which changes every year and intends to draw attention on specific topics, regions and concepts. Countries in focus will be: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗵𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮, 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻.

👁👂 As a multidisciplinary event, Visionär will host a film concert under the name of 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗼: this is a female project where two well-known female electronic musicians develop new scores for silent films made by a woman pioneering in cinema.
𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝘆 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲́’s short films of 1912, 𝘍𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 and 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯, will be shown together with a live performance of 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗼̈𝗿𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗸𝗮 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝘂 𝗪 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗞𝗼𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗮 𝗮𝗸𝗮 𝗔𝗸𝗸𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗮𝘂. Guy-Blaché was a producer, a writer, a casting director, a set designer and the first female film director – for some years the only female director - in cinema history. She began working for France’s Gaumont pictures, then moved to the US and founded her own studio, Solax. She made more than 1.000 films. How such a pioneer faded into obscurity has much to do with her gender and with how film history has been written by men. In fact, while her male colleagues were glorified, Guy-Blaché’s work was neglected, if not even attributed to the men.

🌈 Visionär believes and respects gender equality and gender inclusivity in its selection. In an industry that doesn’t always make it so easy for women*, in a world in which it’s still necessary to impose the “pro film quote” in order to assure their presence, Visionär is very proud to contribute support to women.
