CALL FOR SUBMISSION TO CINEMA D' iDEA 2022


PREMISE:


From data emerged from the first gender study in the world of audiovisuals in Europe, carried out in Italy by Mibact in collaboration with EWA, (network of European women) in the audiovisual sector, many numbers and truths have emerged. Those data were communicated first in Venice 2016 and then definitively in Berlin 2016.

Women are struggling: the percentage of female directors in the world is 7%, and in the history of the Oscars, only 4 women directors have been nominated for Best Direction. And in ITALY? The percentage is even lower, although we have the HIGHEST NUMBER OF NOMINATIONS FOR DIRECTORS. THE FIRST WOMAN TO BE APPOINTED TO THE OSCAR WAS OUR LINA WERTMÜLLER. It emerges however that the scarcity of women concerns not only the directors but also other "technical" roles as cinematographers etc. communicated in first instance in Venice and then definitively in Berlin 2016. So, “ Sorry, Ladies: Study on Women in Film and Television

Confirms The Worst. “ as Indie Wires tells.

In the cinema there is a lack of visibility of women and issues, as well as roles that are independent of aesthetic standards and standardized roles. There is a real difficulty for women to be accepted as they are, to be heard by producers and beyond. On the other hand, it is undoubted, due to the small quantity detected, the creative capacity and the determination of the women in question, the few. So much so, as we said before, among the nominations of directors at the Oscars, Italy beats all countries.

It is therefore extremely urgent to fill this gap with intensive communication programs, TO RECOVER THAT GAP, THAT VOID AND REAL EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES. A Festival is a small but very important starting and meeting point, for the diversification of film culture, the image of women, feminine empowerment, not only in the cinema, it's an encounter between different cultures with the same matrix: the female point of view.


The objectives of the Festival:


1. Give more visibility to women and to the cinema of women.


2. Contributing to greater awareness of the working and expressive possibilities of the female gender through the various sectors of the film industry, also improving the quality of knowledge and life, thus creating better social security for all, not just for a specific sector of society , or a genre.


3. Promote the role of women in various cinematographies, including international ones and in the multiple arts.


4. Promote freedom of expression and speech and equal opportunities.


5. Building an image's education of this 50%, that is lacking in world cinema, for a better distribution of knowledge and work in the future, with a focus on schools and girls.


6. Create a meeting place and possibility of networking for women directors, especially European, with the possibility of reaffirming a commun identity.


7. The growth of national GDP, as a result of the improvement of Equal Opportunities, as per recent declarations by the Bank of Italy and Mario Draghi.


8. And last but not least we will do a Conference with the focus on this very important point.


We will bring the Serner case to show how much truth there is in this statement. The title of the Conference is: "7 and a half. HOW TO CREATE WEALTH. " "Analyzing the data from a broader perspective, over the last ten years, the European Bank notes that" the increase in the workforce during the economic recovery has been driven by female participation ".


The Festival is organized by the non-profit Cultural Association: "La Tribù dell'Arte", in partnership with ANAC - Associazione Nazionale Autori Cinematografici and with the collaboration of other Associations.


The festival is sponsored by Anac, National Association of Italian Authors, patronized by EWA European Women Network, L'Isola del Cinema and Women in Film TV & Media Italia.
